2020 GeoTech Center Virtual Workshops
***Due to COVID-19, the June and July GeoTech summer workshops will be held online via Zoom and the October workshop on Autonomous Vehicle Sensor Technology will utilize Virtual Reality as the delivery method. Participants in the October workshop will be provided Virtual Reality equipment. Two workshops posted previously (Southwestern College & Monroe Community College) have been postponed to summer 2021.
Working with ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, UAS, and Earth Imagery
Online Workshop - June 17-19, 2020
Instructors: Mukila Maitha, Harper College & Rich Schultz, GeoTech Center Associate Director
Participants at this workshop gain hands on experience on teaching with ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Pro, UAVs (drones), and Earth Imagery. Attendees will be introduced to open curriculum development resources (lessons and data) from national and international repositories. Workshop participants will develop an exercise or lesson for use in one of their classes.
Working with Remote Sensing Imagery in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro
Online Workshop - August 3-5, 2020
Instructors: Vince DiNoto, GeoTech Center Director & Nicole Ernst, Harrisburg Area Community College & GeoTech Center Associate Director
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to web-based applications that allow for imagery interpretation and analysis. Additionally, this workshop will cover remote sensing workflows in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro. Participants will work with Landsat, Sentinel, and other imagery sources. Workshop participants will develop an exercise or lesson for use in one of their classes.
Autonomous Vehicle Technology Sensors (Air, Land and Sea): What Teachers Need to Know for the Classroom
Virtual Reality Workshop - October 15-16, 2020
Instructors: Jon Beck, Chris Hadfield, Zackary Nicklin, Ben Richason, Jill Zande, National Center for Autonomous Technologies
This workshop is designed to deliver a primer on the sensor technologies that are impacting the aerospace, automotive, heavy equipment and marine autonomous technologies industries. Educators from these disciplines face many challenges from the rapid integration and prohibitive financial nature of these technologies. Jobs of the future will require a foundational level of knowledge of these sensors. Through hands-on experience and discussion, we will cover industry trends and the future impact of advanced technology integration resulting from autonomous technologies. Attendees will be prepared to use this technology in their classroom using portable, cost efficient experimentation and exercises.
Attendees in this workshop will be provided virtual reality headsets and controls.
