Giant NYS Map

As an addition to our normal GIS programs, GIS/SIG has recently purchased a National Geographic Giant Map for use by our membership to share Spatial Skills. The map is 21 feet by 17 feet and comes with activities geared to K-12 students. As the map is used we hope to also create other activities to share with our membership. To learn about the map visit https://www.nationalgeographic.org/education/giant-maps/ and https://www.nationalgeographic.org/education/giant-maps/activities/ for the different activities.
