A little about our program
This mini-tech bootcamp is designed for 1st – 8th graders who know how to handle a mouse on a chromebook. Teach kids how to see the world through digital maps, and demonstrate how we use data and maps to make better decisions. We introduce kids to the amazing science of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that is used for Google Maps, Zillow, and 3D Modeling. You will guide kids to perform GIS mapping online and give them a sense of what a career in GIS looks like.
Our Classroom Experience
Project skills in:
environmental, mapping, and technology
Environmental Factors
People that care about protecting the landscape often pursue a degree in environmental science. Data about water, vegetation, and animals is now important for decision management.
GIS Mapping
Most organizations use a Geographic Information System (GIS) as the central resting place for their data. You can use geographic visualizations to easily show WHAT is happening WHERE. In this map camp you will learn how to make a digital map and learn what does a GIS analyst do.
Technology
We have the benefit of using new forms of technology to monitor and protect the planet like satellites, UAVs, and mapping software. You can learn how technology supports any planning process or study larger issues such as mapping climate change.
