Building the data infrastructure education research needs

GEO is a research program at the intersection of GeoAI, spatial data science, and international development — focused on making school-level data accessible, comparable, and useful across low- and middle-income countries.

All datasets are freely available for academic and humanitarian use. Models and code are released open-source on GitHub.
