Cach for cash at GIS Day Nov. 16

Geographic Information Systems may sound complex, but you can learn how to use this technology in a fun scavenger hunt at GIS Day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16 at the Student Commons on Tulsa Community College’s Metro Campus.

 GIS Day is a free event that invites the community and students to learn about TCC’s GIS Certificate program, to network within the geospatial community and to discover GIS career options. The day includes a scavenger hunt in which participants will use GIS technology to find items, and there is a cash prize.

A GIS, or geographic information system, represents computer software, data and solutions that are used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide in government, education and business. GIS Day educates people about how geography affects people through GIS technology.

GIS Day is sponsored by the National Geographic Society, the Association of American Geographers, University Consortium of Geographic Information Science, United States Geological Survey, The Library of Congress, Sun Microsystems and Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.
