Mission of the Month – Think GIS!
Searching for cool, yet low-cost, easy ways to connect youth with science and technology? Look no further than Mission of the Month. Now online at CYFERnet, this all-new Web site highlights a range of tech-oriented activities, each one centered on a monthly theme.
In November, we explore the world with hands-on GeoCaching activities. Together with GIS and GPS buffs across the globe, youth/adult partners can celebrate GIS Day—an annual tribute to geospatial technology—via The Great CYFERnet Travel Bug Race, the national Youth Favorite Places project, or a local Earthcaching adventure.
With each activity, participants develop geospatial skills, strengthen team spirit and, most importantly, have a great time! Visit www.cyfernet.org/4Htech/missions.html for complete details. — Jan Carroll
