We may repeat this activity from last year (perhaps actually having the helicopter land).  A public safety GIS demonstration including a visit from the County Fire Department helicopter will take place. The helicopter is equipped with an on-board mapping system that we will be able to view interactively from the ground through a down-link as it flies in and lands on campus. We will then have an opportunity to look at the helicopter and the mapping system up close.

4:15 - 5:15 Hands-on Lab Activity: GIS for Schools in SCI 113 (GIS computer Lab)
This will be a hands-on computer-based activity for teachers and students on the use of GIS. We will explore data about the world, California, Ventura County, and marine resources of the Channel Islands.  The session will be led by the education coordinators at the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
