Get Involved - Events and Opportunities
Participate in a Workshop
September 8, 2-6pm MT, Online
QGreenland is offering a version of our popular beginner workshop tailored just for educators. This workshop is designed for people who are new to GIS/QGIS and interested in using open-source geospatial data with their students. The workshop will use the gradual release model to support genuine learning. You will leave with an understanding of ways to introduce GIS to your students and curriculum materials to help you do it!
The workshop will run online September 8th, from 2-6pm MDT. The workshop is open to both formal and informal educators, with continuing education/graduate credit available.
