With the data your organization has provided, the students will be able to create the following deliverables:
- Different kinds of maps: ArcGIS, Web-Maps, Story maps
- Reports (including graphs and analysis)
Project Examples
Starting in January, multiple teams of students can spend 40-50 hours per team working for your organization.
With your data, multiple teams of students will create maps, reports, and provide analysis. In addition, students can craft a Story Map for your organization, if interested. Such a story map can be shared with the public or be used for internal purposes only.
Generally speaking, the following are skills that students are able to employ with your project:
- Create, modify and present spatial data.
- Create and edit Geodatabases feature classes.
- Apply the GIS analysis to natural resource management modelling.
