EdUC: 4-H Students and GIS
Sunday afternoon, 4-H students from around the country were presented GIS projects they've been working on over the past year. Their projects go far beyond basic GIS applications, and bring together a variety of skills and disciplines to complete projects for their communities.
In one project, a student put together a Web site of Youth Favorite Places for Manhattan, New York. In addition to implementing GIS technology to create an interactive Web site, she incorporated written surveys, personal interviews, collected photographs, and made videos. The end result is a Web site that maps the top 10 favorite places to hang out for young people under the age of 24. When site visitors click on a site they can read the interviews, see photos, or watch videos. Many 4-H students across the country are helping others in their community find safe places to hang out and give them a forum to express their views.
