CartoDB is participating in the American Museum of Natural History's Educator's Evening on January 30, highlighting its potential as a tool for students to explore and visualize data. The platform's flexible interface, visually stunning graphics, and ease of use make it an attractive addition to classrooms. Recently, New York City high school students used CartoDB to analyze the impacts of climate change and Hurricane Sandy on their city, developing critical thinking skills and gaining a new interest in cartography. The project allowed students to create engaging maps that told stories with data, fostering discussion and analysis. CartoDB's power as a tool for map making in the classroom was demonstrated through the students' projects, which showcased their ability to think critically about data visualization.
