The She Maps Geospatial in Schools Awards recognise outstanding achievements and engaging, creative and innovative contributions of Australian students and teachers in geospatial learning and teaching, across three award categories:
Award nominations open on 1 June 2023 and close on 30 September 2023. Applicants can nominate themselves or be nominated with the endorsement of their school principal. Full details about the award categories, eligibility criteria, application guide and submission checklist can be found below.
The Geospatial in Schools Awards are endorsed and supported by the two leading geospatial industry bodies, The Surveyors’ Trust and the Geospatial Council of Australia (GCA).
Award recipients win a visit to the annual geospatial conference Locate in Sydney in 2024, including travel and accommodation, a full-day access pass and an invitation to the exclusive industry gala dinner.
GCA will host award recipients for a tour of the exhibition during the day, providing opportunity to make valuable industry connections, see the latest geospatial technologies and learn about advancements and innovations in geospatial sciences.
