I’m a Geographer is a student-led, online enrichment activity.
It connects school students with people using geography in their careers. Students are supported to see the relevance of their studies and understand the range of further study and careers it can lead to.
The activity is flexible, moderated, safe, secure, and easy to use. It’s a whole-class activity, suitable for ages from 10 years old. You can take part when it suits you, throughout the school year.
Thanks to our funders’ support, taking part is free for state-maintained schools.
