Title: classroom printer opportunity
Post by: 300berg on April 13, 2023, 03:39:44 PM
I'm doing a Liberty Seed next week at a local middle school.  The teacher is super excited and has offered (asked) for large material to print out.

I already have the large map that I will be bringing.  He has access to a 3 foot wide by length of roll printer.

I'm not sure what I could offer him, but it is an opportunity to have something Appleseed related permanently in his classroom.

Ideas?

oh wow.....

We've sort of addressed this with the Rifleman Wisdom poster.  I honestly can't think of anything else.  I have an extra poster I can send you, berg, if you want it.

Maybe print the Battle Road maps that the Parks Service makes available? I have a set, but they do take up a LOT of space.

Do you have a link or know if they are public domain?

I'd like to get an appleseed branded doc on their wall...

Suggest you just have him print out a copy of the map.

Hey, berg, I'm not finding them on the parks service website anymore. Looks like they've been replaced by interactive maps. Fun, but not good for display lol  I'll keep hunting. I think ghostring may have that file. It is public domain, as far as I know.

In the meanwhile, check the image in this thread and see if your teacher thinks it'll be OK.

Wikipedia has a .svg file they claim is from the National Parks Service, and it should be scalable as large as you want to print it.  Previous and various resolutions available here:
