Local Elementary Students Learn At U of R camp

REDLANDS>> Students from Lugonia and Franklin elementary schools in Redlands, California had the opportunity to travel the world and learn to fly — virtually, that is— at a hands-on geography and Geographic Information Systems camp July 23 at the University of Redlands. Using Esri’s ArcGIS Explorer Online and other applications, students could map their own neighborhoods, explore the history and cultures of five different continents and learn how to fly a drone. The one-day camp was sponsored by the University’s School of Education and supported through the University’s Center for Spatial Studies. The University of Redlands is a private, independent University centrally located from the beaches, mountains and desert in the heart of southern California.
