Keweenaw Report Your Source for Local News and Sports
This past summer, 11 high school interns from Calumet and Houghton joined professionals at Michigan Tech and the Keweenaw National Historical Park to use the Geographic Information System to explore our region’s past.
As a part of GRACE (GIS Resources and Applications for Career Education Project), students were engaged in independent work and collaborative problem-solving throughout the six-week internship.
These dedicated high school students built maps that utilized technology and spatial mapping skills, asked questions, researched historic sites and developed products that are now available to park visitors.
“Mapping Copper Country History – Student Perspectives” will be held at the Calumet Public Library tonight at 6:30pm.
At this presentation, the students will discuss their experience, the work they did, and how they connected to our community and its history.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Calumet Public Library.
The GRACE project was made possible through funding from the National Science Foundation and grant coordination by Eastern Michigan University.
