Come hang out at GeoDev! I will be talking about web scraping and GIS data!!

Frequently Asked Question🙋♀️ Q: Will graduates earn a full degree from USC or do online programs confer a different degree or certificate? A: Online students across all of USC’s graduate programs receive the same degrees as on-campus students. Our online GIS students are key members of the Trojan family, and they receive the academically rigorous education they expect from a top-tier university.

ESAs are quickly being adopted in many states… so what is an ESA? An education savings account (ESA) is for parents of students K-12. It’s a publicly funded, government-authorized savings account that is restricted to use only for educational purposes. ESA programs exist in 17 states. ESA funds can go toward: 🏫 School tuition 💻 Online education 📚 Textbooks 👩🏫 Tutoring and more! ESAs vary state by state and are still relatively new, so stay tuned for a more nuanced discussion. https://lnkd.in/eQMUCDxH Full article from EdChoice

Calling all U.S. libraries and community-based organizations! Shorebirds embark on epic migrations each year along ancient, often uncharted routes called Flyways. Over 200 species, including Far Eastern Curlews, Lesser Yellowlegs, Red Knots, and Hudsonian Godwits, travel from the southern hemisphere to the Arctic and back, flying non-stop for up to nine days without food or water. However, these bird populations are plummeting due to climate change and urban development. “Flyways,” a new documentary, explores a global conservation effort led by bird experts and citizen scientists working to understand and protect these migratory shorebirds. HHMI Tangled Bank Studios (the team behind “Flyways”) has partnered with SciStarter to inspire worldwide participation in bird-related citizen science ahead of the fall migration. Register to join a free webinar on June 11 at 2 PM ET to learn more about “Flyways” and how to apply for a grant to support related programming at your library this fall. Grants can be used to host a screening of “Flyways” and support bird-related citizen science programming during the fall bird migration. Mini grants are restricted to United States libraries and community-based organizations, but communities around the world are encouraged to join the bird population monitoring and citizen science movement! Register for the free webinar to learn more. https://lnkd.in/ejFDzvv2

Check out this article that not only highlights my time as an Intern and as a student in the Warner College of Natural Resources but how resourceful and cool the Geospatial Centroid is for having these experiences for us. https://lnkd.in/gN4KrPDR

It is always a treat to listen to Brad Flanagan, ENP, RPL, MPA present. Imagine the possibilities; the possibilities are endless. The future really is bright with the intersection of different technology with public safety. But also the reminder that in five years we will be hiring today’s eighth graders and that we must consider their abilities when developing new applications and ways of doing work. And let’s not forget GIS and tying data to location. It’s the art of the possible. #NENA2024 #ng911 #futurethink #GIS

Here's to a journey filled with continued growth and success in the field of geospatial technology.

Our CEO, Sam Blackbourn is speaking tonight at the Cav on how AI is shaping the future of engineering. Also speaking tonight is Kris Fordham, a legend in the NZ civil industry on how Auckland Council are using AI in predictive flood modelling. 💦🤖 At Allsite.ai we envisage a future where NZ AI and civil engineering technology companies can collaborate together to bring NZ to the forefront of this tech wave 🎱🔮 At a recent Callaghan Innovation talk one speaker put it well saying "New Zealand start-ups have it wrong - you aren't competing against each other, you are competing against the rest of the world". Bring on the collaboration 🤝 the more we do together the better we all become 📈
