| Team leaders prepare for challenge at SU Lab School |
Baton
Rouge, La – The Southern University Ag center reaches out to the Scotlandville
community through National Science Day by demonstrating the importance of math
and science for the future growth of our nation, and the opportunities that 4-H
offers through these annual experiences. The event will be held on October 9, from 9:00 am-noon at Southern
University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Room 191 in A.
O. Williams Hall, B.A. Little Drive, Baton Rouge.
As
part of 4-H NYSD, 25 youth from Southern Lab School’s 9th Grade Science class will
participate in the 4-H Maps & Apps: the 2013 National Science Experiment.
With 4-H Maps & Apps, thousands more young people will take the first step
as they apply cartography and geographic information systems (GIS)/ global
positioning systems (GPS) technology skills and become community planners.
The
GIS Mapping challenge this year is to build a park on 8 acres of vacant land.
The youth are very excited about the technology and their new park!
