Objectives
Enable GIS
Expand skilled resources
Improve skills pipeline
Atlas is based on simple ideas
High quality maps and spatial analysis are valuable
Maps provide information and therefore increase decision quality
Maps provide a natural "common language" that aids communication between groups that routinely use different languages
Mapping is a skill that is under-developed and highly valuable
"Spatial" awareness is not a technology but instead a natural human experience
Kindergarten through High School students have lost some spatial skills
