GIS = BETTER DECISION MAKING
 That's Right! GIS displays information visually on a map which allow decision makers, or really anyone including you, to understand the distribution of things better, such as crime or pollution. Understanding these things allow you or the community to engage in discussing how to improve or change the landscape.
GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems...in other words: Computers + Maps = GIS....see, you're learning already! Take a few moments to read up on GIS and Learn how raw data becomes a map to help us all make better decisions. |
Students interested in designing visually powerful maps as well as understanding the principals of map design should take this three week workshop. Designed to explore the various cartographic functionality of GIS tools with a splash of theory students can expect to learn how to create professional looking maps. 
We believe in creating workshops which demonstrate and teach best practices for the real-world. The goal should be to understand the capabilities of GIS rather than memorizing buttons. In addition, we provide most of our students with a doggy-bag of resources when the class is finished. These resources help our students continue to learn and engage with GIS so as not to lose the skills they've learned.
