Welcome to GEODZ 511: Geodesign History, Theory, and Principles!
This course is intended to introduce you to the history and foundations of geodesign, and provide you with a thorough understanding of geodesign methodology for developing a comprehensive geodesign project.
Geodesign is changing the way we change our world. It is an exciting time to be engaged in this rapidly changing discipline, and the world needs geodesign now more than ever to change the way human beings live on this planet, and with one another.
By way of introduction, and to provide you with an infusion of inspiration as you embark on this course, please watch the following short TED talk featuring Esri founder and president Jack Dangermond as he speaks about the promise and future of Geodesign.
Then, when you are ready, please proceed to the Getting Started Activity.
