Global Connection
Carnegie Mellon, NASA, Google, and the National Geographic Society started the Global Connection Project, a non-profit lab that coordinates GigaPan outreach, education, and science work.

Mt. Everest
Astronaut Scott Parazynski and Keith Cowing climbed Mount Everest as part of education and public outreach for their non-profit organization, the Challenger Center for Space Science Education. Along the way, they took an GigaPan EPIC and captured amazing panoramas on Everest, the highest GigaPans ever taken on the surface of the Earth.

National Fine Outreach For Science (FOFS)
A workshop that introduces GigaPan as a pioneering scientific tool to a wide range of internationally recognized scientists and experts. These scientists use GigaPan technology to bring their own scientific, critical and creative ideas, applying the technology to their field of specialization.

GigaPan School Dialogues
The GigaPan Youth Exchange project combines cultural inquiry, GigaPan technology, and social media for students to communicate and share with their peers around the world. Using GigaPan, the group of students is growing into a community of technologically aware young people who are knowledgeable about their own environment and understand and care about the problems their contemporaries face.

National Geographic Pine Ridge Photo Camp
Twenty Lakota high school students from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota used GigaPan to document their community during National Geographic's Pine Ridge Photo Camp in 2009. The students explored Pine Ridge and the surrounding areas, documenting their surroundings to share their experiences and culture.

International GigaPan Training Workshops
Teachers from across the world are integrating the GigaPan technology into their curriculum and sharing the results with other schools. Also supported by National Geographic, the training workshops are underway in several countries, including Trinidad, Tabago, Indonesia, and soon to begin in Brazil as well.
