Do you like maps? Are you interested in the latest geospatial technology such as GoogleEarth, GPS, GIS and Remote Sensing? Would you like to GeoCache or create “mashups” in Google Earth? At GeoTech, you will learn how to use these devices, spend time outdoors exploring a cave. We will collect and analyze geographic information and then use the geographic laboratory to plot your data on maps. Interested? Then grab a flashlight and show up at N 38° 56.579 W 092° 19.633 and be ready for fun and action!
Sponsored by the MU Department of Geography
