    Looking to encourage the youth of today within the field of geomatics? Ever heard of Techsploration? I've been a role model since 2003 and have met several inspiring young women along the way. Techsploration provides young women from grades nine through twelve with opportunities to explore science, trades and technology occupations, while creating awareness about the critical role of work in their lives.

    I know they need role models... check it out!!!
