GeoTech Center Regional Workshops
The National Geospatial Technology Center of Excellence (NGTC) will host four regional workshops in the summer of 2018. The workshops will be held in Dallas, San Diego, Salt Lake City, and Gettysburg and are open high school educators and 2-year/4-year college faculty. Each of the workshops has a different focus and require different levels of geospatial experience from beginner to intermediate. Each workshop will have 15-18 participants and will have participants developing curricular materials.
Workshop participants will receive:

Workshop participants will receive:
- A $700 stipend upon completion of the workshop and submission of curricular materials by the end of the workshop. The materials may still require polish for use in your class(es), but the materials should be well on the way to being usable. Participants will receive assistance in a collaborative setting in the creation of their geospatial curriculum from professional geospatial instructors/curriculum developers and other workshop participants.
- Presentations and hands-on workshops of cutting-edge geospatial technologies.
- Membership to the GeoTech Center Community of Practice (CoP).
To apply for the workshop, fill out the application. Please also notify Nicole Ernst that you have applied. To attend the workshops, participants are required to submit a short proposal that includes the following:
- A cover letter describing what geospatial tools you have used (for example, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Online, Google Earth, QGIS, mobile phones apps, GPS, UAS, etc.)
- A proposed classroom-based project that you would like to create (or augment) during your time at the workshop.
- A resume or Curriculum Vitae (max 2 pages) highlighting your background geospatial tools.
- A PowerPoint presentation (1 to 3 slides) highlighting any of the following: a) previous geospatial work; b) a classroom lesson; c) a personal (or student mentored) geospatial project.
