GIS Data Creation & Management

This is a 3 hour hands-on workshop where students will be creating their own GIS data. From images and photos to spreadsheets, they will learn how to import external data sources into GIS. They will also learn how to create your own GIS data (shapefiles, feature classes) from scratch. This workshop is the second in our series for obtaining our Certificate of Attendance.
