Get a look at the pillars shaping this course.
While development is still underway, these highlights offer an early look at the skills and outcomes you’ll be working toward:
Define a spatial data problem, choose relevant tools and techniques, and execute a full analysis workflow from question to final presentation.
Work on a self-selected project or engage with timely instructor-provided topics like climate change, disaster response, and public health.
Use your coding knowledge in Python or R to build solutions and deliver insight through data preparation, modeling, and visualization.
Translate technical outcomes into maps, graphics, and reports that tell a clear, compelling story suitable for public or stakeholder sharing.
"We are developing this capstone course to give learners the opportunity to connect everything they've learned and apply it to real-world spatial challenges. Whether it's analyzing disaster data or exploring environmental trends, this course focuses on doing work that matters. Learners will build projects that not only showcase their technical skills but also demonstrate their ability to think critically and communicate solutions. I'm excited to see how learners make these projects their own and use them to develop professional portfolios and drive impact in their fields."
