2. Esri Imagery Education Summit discussion: ESIP Education is sending Becky Reid to this meeting as our ESIP Ed rep. Her tasks so far:
- Look for examples of coding opportunities,
- Provide expertise as a teacher in the discussion about ESRI user interface development
- Provide a v. brief shout out of ESIP Education and what we do, if the opportunity arises and
- Low priority- Seeing if ESRI is interested in data from ESIP members, (eg if an ESRI speaker mentions, ‘oh I wish we had data on [some Earth science field]’) - the purpose is to help ESIP members disseminate their data more widely. (for example, interest in plate motion velocity data)
3. Update on Survey of ESIP members on educational materials - add your info!
