Broadly defined, GIS refers to the use of a map format to collect and analyze data. My favorite part of the ESRI website is the ESRI Map Book , a publication that ESRI has provided annually for over 25 years. GIS layers are even available for some of the maps on display, allowing you to reuse and customize them.

So they provide the examples and maps, but they let the youth pick and pledge whatever it is they want to do to make a difference. Quite the opposite. What does it look like? Obviously, we can all picture a car.
