RMOTC collaborates with the community to teach 4-H students about GIS technology
Tyler Leinonen, a 13-year-old 4-H member from Casper, Wyo., has recently given several presentations on what he has learned about GIS technology at ESRI’s Petroleum User Group (PUG) Conference in Houston and at several other meetings in the Casper area. Leinonen spent the 2008 fall semester working with his 4-H leader and four Casper College Advanced GIS students, among others, on a project to create an electronic interactive historic map of the 1920s campsites for the Teapot Dome and Salt Creek Oil Fields. The map not only locates the historic sites, but also provides viewers with hyperlinks to historic information, documentation, original photos, as well as the virtual 3-D field tour video seen above.
