Kids want to know : Where is the social aspect ? How is education relevant ? How is it fun ? GIS is how to do it . GIS is how to get kids engaged . We have to be proactive and help kids appreciate the value of school .

Everybody does robotics and coding. Mrs. Fran opened my eyes to incorporating drones and aviation. Our students really benefit from her one-on-one attention and constant feedback and encouragement. Parents get excited because it’s something different. It’s shaping the future of our magnet program.
We hired a highly skilled employee who had been trained at GGI. These skills are not common, but they are very important to our firm. Almost all of our clients utilize geospatial technology to some degree. GGI's ability to produce skilled workers in this field supports our ability to serve our clients.

Fran and her team connected the use of GIS technology to environmental littering, and taught my class of 80+ students about the impact our actions have on our environment as well as ways to analyze this impact.
As a consultant, I use Geospatial technology in conducting site assessments and market analysis for my clients: research parks, business incubators, economic development groups and private entities. I work for developers of assisted living facilities, other retail businesses, and universities and communities wanting to start research parks and small business assistance programs.
