We invite educates and students in grades 9-12 to virtually connect and collaborate with professional land surveyors and GIS professionals as part of a statewide effort to raise awareness about these professions while supporting STEM objectives. Students will engage in an activity involving a web-based, interactive map called GEOInquiry. Teachers will have access to the GEOInquiry lesson plans that support Wyoming state standards in math, science, social studies, and technology. For more information, contact Cindy Jones at cynthia.jones@uwyo.edu. To sign up, click HERE.
Dates: February 21-25, 2022
