Project Title: Teaching k-12 students to create 3D models of their school to empower them to be part of the safety solution
Project Description:

Secured My School (SMS) is a pioneering initiative aimed at transforming how K-12 students contribute to the safety of their educational environments. By empowering them to create 3D models of their school buildings, SMS leverages sophisticated technology for a cause that resonates deeply within the heart of every community: keeping schools safe. This transformative project is set to expand thanks to a significant grant, aiming to broaden its educational horizons. Central to this expansion is the integration of the ESRI ARC GIS K-12 curriculum, a move that will immerse students in the world of geospatial technology through the hands-on experience of LiDAR scanning. This process produces a detailed, secure, cloud-based 3D model of their school, into which pivotal information for first responders is meticulously integrated, providing them with invaluable insights for training purposes and emergency responses.

The comprehensive scope of SMS does not end with enhancing school safety; it also focuses on imparting crucial life skills to students. Through their engagement with project management principles and geospatial technology applications, students are not merely participants but active contributors to a safer learning environment. This hands-on approach fosters a deep understanding of the intricate balance between technology and its practical implications for community safety. In orchestrating this endeavor, SMS enriches the students’ educational journey with critical thinking, technical skills, and a profound sense of civic responsibility. By bridging the gap between technology, education, and community welfare, Secured My School stands as a testament to the potential of empowering young minds to make tangible contributions to their world, ensuring a legacy of safety, awareness, and innovation for generations to come.
