Workshop Description
November 1 Update: We are at capacity as of this date. Thank you for the incredible interest in this educator workshop! If you sign up now you will be added to our wait list. We also will offer a second workshop in February 2020.

This FREE geospatial technologies workshop held at the University of Central Florida is designed for Florida 2nd to 8th grade teachers, home school teachers and pre-service teachers of all disciplines who wish to infuse geographic concepts, mapping, drones, and other geospatial technologies into their curriculum in a fun and interactive manner.  The free workshop will be held from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm on Saturday, November 16th at University of Central Florida.  The workshop will include 3-4 hands-on sessions on geospatial technologies, including GIS, mapping and drones. Our friends from National Geographic Education will be on hand to provide free workshop training toward National Geographic Educator Certification as well.

Participants will receive the following as part of their participation in the program: 1) workshop materials; 2) free mapping applications and lesson plans for their classrooms; 3) free lunch; 4) a mini-drone*; and 5) priority scheduling for future K-12 outreach events with UCF GeoBus.  

Any questions, can be directed to Dr. Timothy L. Hawthorne at timothy.hawthorne@ucf.edu.  All participants must complete the below questions and choose to like/follow Citizen Science GIS on Facebook (citizensciencegis) and Twitter (citizen_gis). Priority registration will close on October 25, 2019.  The workshop will be capped at 25-35 teachers. The workshop will need a minimum of 15 participants to occur. All questions below are required for a complete application to the workshop.  Selection decisions for participation in this free educational workshop will be made by Dr. Hawthorne and applicants will be notified no later than November 1, 2019.

*The mini-drone will include a commitment to integrate the drone technology into a 2019-2020 lesson with your class (with our team's assistance of course).
