Geospatial Summer Camp for Middle School Students

Geospatial Science is an interdisciplinary field that involves the study of various phenomena on Earth and their spatial relationships. The field is vast and covers various areas such as geography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), cartography, remote sensing, and surveying. With the increasing use of geospatial technologies in various industries such as agriculture, urban planning, transportation, and environmental management, there is a need to expose students to this exciting field. The Geospatial Science Summer Camp Students is designed to introduce students to geospatial science and provide hands-on experience in various technologies in order to get students interested in this exciting growing field. This summer program will enable the UMSL Geospatial Collaborative to achieve its mission to create the workforce pipeline that will support St. Louis’ rapidly growing geospatial sector.
