Authors: Tish McKinstry

High School students as members of the Geospatial Analysis class will produce GIS projects to solve community problems. Students work with community members to identify problems then develop a GIS project to offer solutions and suggestions. While working to develop and devise a workable solution they also obtain assistance from local GIS professionals to guide them with accuracy. The students present their final projects to the community members and submit a notebook with documentation of work
