The Education Committee worked hard this summer, preparing for a few great events. We look forward to reaching many youths across the state.
- The Salt Lake Chapter is pairing up with a youth group in Copperton to give a presentation on careers in surveying.
- The Golden Spike Chapter is pairing up again with the Davis Catalyst Center’s drone program. We will be mentoring high school youth in learning the ins and outs of drones.
- The Golden Spike Chapter also has a presentation planned with a local elementary school to promote surveying and geography.
- I have received reports of a few companies bringing on high school interns for the current semester This is a great way to get kids exposed to surveying. If you are interested in hosting a high school intern, please reach out, and I will be happy to connect you with program coordinators.
Did you know we have a social media presence? Have a great picture or accomplishment? Tag us or send it over, and we will get it posted.
