University of Illinois Extension & 4-H invites youth ages 10 to 16 to explore different mapping methods and the innovative technology used to create maps in the new Mapping and GIS Club!

Youth will be able to \u201cget in the field\u201d using GPS units to collect REAL data that will be used to create a brand new map. They will also have the chance to learn GIS (Geographic Information Systems) basics, a computer program which allows us to layer maps and manipulate data to display new information. They will get to practice their cartography skills as they learn what makes a \u201cgood\u201d map and appreciate how far technology has taken us! \u00a0<\/p>
