 The GeoTech Center is pleased to announce the 2018 Undergraduate Geospatial Technology Skills Competition! The intent of the competition is to showcase the geospatial technology skills of U.S. undergraduate students. Competing students will create a project that utilizes geospatial technology to address a real-world problem. The student will then present the project and the resulting deliverables as a Poster that not only highlights their use of geospatial technology, but also demonstrates their communication and presentation skills.

The competition is software neutral.

 

Applicants must meet all of the requirements below to qualify for the competition (questions regarding eligibility can be directed to either Tom Mueller ([log in to unmask]):

• Applicants must be the age of 18 or older;
• Applicants must be enrolled during the Spring 2018 term in a geospatial technology course (e.g., geographic information systems, remote sensing, GPS/GNSS, etc.) or geospatial technology program at an accredited 2-year or 4-year U.S. institution (undergraduate status);
• Applicants must reside in the U.S.;
• All work and cartographic output must be the original work of the applicant;
• Only one entry allowed per student; and
• Only individual student submissions allowed (no group projects).

 

The winners will be awarded registration, travel and accommodations to the 2018 GeoEd Conference in Louisville, Kentucky.  The winners will also present their posters at this conference.
Due April 20th at 1pm eastern.
