The Eco Ambassadors Solutions Lab (EASL) is a dynamic and immersive virtual initiative designed for high school students passionate about environmental sustainability, global citizenship, and technical skills development. This global eight-week program aims to empower students with a comprehensive understanding of local sustainability challenges and their intersection with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a blend of interactive virtual sessions, digital hands-on activities, and technical training, students will explore geospatial technologies and data-driven research, global citizenship, sustainable development, digital storytelling, and engage with experts while gaining valuable insights into how these tools and knowledge can be leveraged for achieving sustainability. 

Final projects/solutions are required to be submitted in the ArcGIS StoryMap format and present data analysis and visualization using ArcGIS tools. Licenses will be awarded to students who actively participate in the live sessions.

2025 Theme

This year’s workshop, running from July 8 to August 31, (live sessions every Tuesday and Thursday between 9:00-10:15 AM EST) 2025, explores humanity’s 70,000-year journey through the economy and environment using the seven Ages of Globalization (AoG) from Professor Jeffrey Sachs’s book. By tracing globalization’s evolution—shaped by geography, technology, and institutions—students will gain insights into today’s global challenges. The program integrates world history, science, geography, and data, with the SDGs as a guide. Participants will select a sustainability topic for a project, applying the technical skills learned during training.
