an educational setting.

Special Workshops
On a request basis we can offer workshops tailored to the needs of a region, school or group of teachers. For example Writing GIS projects. In this workshop you will work with your own data to create school specific projects, usually for senior students and/or a field work
situation.
Annual Three Day Institute
This event held in the July school holidays provides workshop sessions for all levels and allows teachers to qualify for the Eagle Technology GIS in School Programme. There are also plenary sessions with speakers, hand-on
field work and demonstrations from students.
