Hi Sam,
this is something great :) A teacher near my city invited me to his
school, too. They will do some OSM mapping in a week for school projects
and he likes if somebody from 'the real world' would give a session to
the pupils ;)
But there are are lot of people that do stuff like that

Hi all,
I recently made a visit to a school as part of the Royal Geographic Society (UK)
Geography Ambassadors scheme where i spoke to kids (15/16 yr olds) about
geography in the real world. We then had an OSM editing session which was
surprisingly
successful. The kids were really interested in the concept of
'participation in real-world geography'. I'm not trying to indoctrinate
youths into OSM, just showing them how easy it now is to participate in making
maps compared to when i was at school. On the whole it was a very
positive experience with many valid edits made.
You can check out the session editing highlights and some lessons for newbie
editing in Potlatch2 here:
