We partner with surveying and geospatial companies to improve these statistics
She Maps is a proud Australian Social Enterprise with an international footprint. We connect and collaborate with schools, academia, and industry to teach powerful, real world learning in the classroom with modern STEM technologies. We focus on the surveying and geospatial industry as we believe that spatial skills will underpin the growth of companies and our communities in a data analytics hungry fifth industrial revolution.

Join our career poster series
We would love to feature any outstanding drone or geospatial experts in our series of career posters, used to inspire students to pursue a geospatial career.
We’re particularly interested in career stories from women, culturally diverse backgrounds and representatives from the LGBTQI communities.
