If your kids are coming to San Diego with you for UC, make sure to take them to the Esri Kids Fair! Different from KiddieCorp Childcare, Esri Kids Fair introduces GIS through educational and hands-on activities while you spend time with your young ones.
This year’s theme is Continents, and there will be a variety of activities for your kids to participate in, including:
- Identifying coordinates of landmarks and cities in Africa
- Using clues and a compass rose to label countries in South America
- Navigating metro maps of European cities
- Learning how to use a map scale bar to plan a trip in Australia
- Interacting with an ArcGIS Instant App to learn about Asia
- And more!
Kids will earn a special prize after completing six age-appropriate activities and filling up their passports with stickers. This should take 1-2 hours total. Please note that the activities do not need to be completed all at once—families can come and go throughout the week.
Ages 5 to 14 are welcome to participate. A parent or guardian must be present at all times. Registration is available on-site at no additional cost.
