Hi everyone! I am a part of a student GIS club at RIT, and we are looking to do an official event for GIS Day this year. I am posting to see if anyone might have ideas for events the club could do to draw in a bunch of 18 - 25 year olds. Feel free to throw any out or suggest any professionals you know that are in the…
