Who we are
Spotin is a meeting point- where technology and science meet education and society.
We are a growing learning community that brings together students, educators and innovators to explore the world through digital maps, geo-storytelling and geospatial technologies.
Since 2021, we have been designing learning experiences that go beyond the classroom — through the Panhellenic School Map Competition, EU-funded projects, teacher training programmes and openly accessible educational resources.
Through hands-on experiences and collaborative projects, we help people develop curiosity, creativity and critical thinking — shaping more active and engaged citizens.
At Spotin, we don’t just teach tools. We inspire discovery.
What we do
- We organise the Panhellenic School Map Competition
- We deliver training programmes for educators, students and professionals on GIS, digital maps and geo-storytelling
- We develop open-access educational resources designed for real-world use — in classrooms, communities and beyond.
- We specialize in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), digital map-making and geo-storytelling in education
- We develop geo-applications
- We collaborate with universities and research institutions, implementing EU-funded projects that bring spatial thinking and digital tools into education and society.
- We design interdisciplinary, project-based learning experiences around real social challenges — from mapping refugee stories and water management to local heritage and urban accessibility
- Every project activates a school community or local society, cultivating more curious, spatially literate and civically engaged citizens.
- We build lasting networks of educators, researchers and innovators who share knowledge, tools and inspiration
