Eureka Springs Celebrates GIS Day

The Eureka Springs High School EAST Lab hosted GIS Day with over 110 guests from the Eureka Springs School District, the Academy of Excellence, community leaders, emergency personnel, interested citizens, parents, and members of the print and TV media. Everyone enjoyed the map gallery where students explained map creation and their community projects. Guests went outside into the crisp cold to see Trimble 3 rovers at work. Contests included "Where are we in Eureka Springs?" map game, trivia world map questions, and map memory games. Game winners won mouse pads, stickers, T-shirts, pencils, pins, posters, and books. GIS videos were shown throughout the day. See photos.
