National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), 1994-2008 [Public Use][ICPSR 21600]
Add Health is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of U.S. adolescents in grades 7-12 during the 1994-1995 school year. The Add Health cohort was followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent conducted in 2008 when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents' social, economic, physical, and psychological well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships.

An Atlas of Thinking: Mapping by Middle School Students
An Atlas of Thinking
Educators foster map-based geographic way of thinking in middle schools and aim to enable anyone to communicate these ideas by making their own maps. Supported by Out of Eden Walk, Jeff Blossom, cartographer at the Center for Geographic Analysis at Harvard University, went into schools across the northeastern U.S. to teach digital cartography.
“Everything happens somewhere, and mapping ‘where’ leads to greater understanding.”
Examples include students creating an earthquake and volcano map in Google Earth.

New York Times creates an interactive map to explore every building in the U.S.
What did they discover?
"We found fascinating patterns in the arrangements of buildings. Traditional road maps highlight streets and highways; here they show up as a linear absence."
