Workshop Objectives & Schedule

Daily Institute Objectives:

Day One: Participants will have a general understanding of the components in a CMaP Project. Participants will plan a feasible CMaP project for implementation at their local school or organization. Participants will be introduced to their GPS units.

Day Two: Participants will start implementing the institute project and learn basic spatial and GIS skills.

Day Three: Participants will learn to incorporate data gathering, GPS, and other field work techniques into their projects.

Day Four: Participants will combine base project data with field data and analyze the results in a GIS.

Day Five: Participants will create final project products, present their products, and evaluate the CMaP Institute.
