Abstract
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) represent the consensus of the global community on the most important issues facing our planet. A major challenge is embedding the UNSDGs in primary and secondary education and providing the tools needed for students to explore and analyse data relevant to the UNSDGs. The Geospatial Semester is a secondary school class in the United States that is focused on mastering geospatial technologies and using them to examine key problems of student interest, including the UNSDGs. Research studies show that the extended use of geographic information systems augments student problem solving and spatial thinking skills, particularly for females. Spatial thinking skills are a key gateway to science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers and an avenue to addressing the UNSDGs.
