[NMScience] GPS Technology into our schools

[Vannetta R. Perry]

Please read below and contact Cliff Wilkie directly before June 20, 2008 
if you are interested in participating in this.  This needs to be for 
greater ABQ area teachers, i.e. ABQ, Belen, LL, SF, Morairty, Grants, etc.

Thanks.

Vannetta

Vanetta,

I'm trying to get in touch with Science or perhaps math teachers about a
project involving GPS technology and the schools.  In particular I'm
looking for teachers in both the (Belen-Los Lunas) area and the
(Edgewood-Moriarty) area.  Anna Rutins, our neighbor, suggested you
might be able to help.

I'm the Geodetic Surveyor for the City of Albuquerque and in charge of
maintaining a countywide network of seven GPS base stations.  This
network of base stations was established to provide real-time high
accuracy for positioning of infrastructure development.  In our efforts
to expand the spatial extent of the network we have been developing
collaborative projects with area schools.  They let us use a school
building as a site for one of our base stations and we allow them free
access to the system and help them develop ways to integrate the use of
the system into their curriculum.  We currently have established base
stations at Rio Rancho High School and CNM.  For more details about the
system see our website at:  http://artgn1.cabq.gov.

We'd like to place base stations in the Edgewood, Moriarty area and the
Belen, Los Lunas area.  So I'd like to get in touch with science or math
teachers in both areas who might be interested in discussing this.  This
seems to fit in best with High Schools but Middle Schools might work as
well.  So if you know of anyone in these areas and could put me in touch
with them, I would appreciate it.

Thanks for your response.

Regards,

Cliff Wilkie
Geodetic Surveyor

I have access to a huge dcatabase of science teachers that I can send an

announcement out to, if you want, just to get some interest going.
