This project was created with the aim of utilizing the online application as a teaching and learning tool across various disciplines that are seeking to bring awareness of diversity through community placed-based education utilizing the built environment of campus. Depending on the specific discipline, the following learning objectives may be implemented when utilizing this tool in the classroom:

Critically engage essential questions, issues, and themes of race, ethnicity, gender, and settler colonial history.
