ESRI Romania is celebrating GIS Day 2008 with a five-part mapping project of the city of Bucharest. A group of 30 high school students are working in five teams to analyze and suggest improvements for various portions of Bucharest. They will look at everything from the natural resources in a local park, to creating a tourist map of Bucharest, to analyzing traffic trends in a busy part of the city.

 

Students will collect their data and finalize their maps using GIS software. The final project will be presented to both the local media and schools on November 19. See event details.
