IMRivers is an online, interactive, community-based mapping application powered by Vertices LLC. Currently, many water conservation organizations use this application to display the concerns, beauty, and improvements of their waterways. Many organizations, including the River Network, have found IMRivers to be instrumental to vocalizing their cause of protecting our water sources and educating the general public.
Thus, IMRivers has decided to further broaden its educational impact by creating IMRivers junior will have the same tried-and-true mapping application as its ‘parent’ program IMRivers; however, IMRiverJR will be available FREE OF CHARGE to any organization working with students, K-12, to educate them about the importance of ecological conservation. Government organizations, non-profit organizations, and classrooms will be able to access and manage their own IMRiversJR account utilizing this Mappler application as a novel, innovative teaching tool. While IMRiversJR is currently in it’s planning phases, expect it to hit the web in about a week and be ready for use by student organizations across the nation!
Also, IMRiversJR is currently looking for advisors, experienced in water conservation, to help guide the development of program in coming months. If you would like to be an advisor, please e-mail Dr. Wansoo Im at wim@vertices.com.
