Authors: Amy Ballard

This session represents the final step in a national competition for community college students, designed to test their knowledge and skills related to the Geospatial Technology Competency Model. Students will initially take an online exam and create a project using geospatial technology, which will be judged by a panel. The top 3 competition finalists will travel to San Diego to present their projects at this symposium, where the overall 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will be chosen. This session is part of the Sustainability Panel discussion.
