CORRECTION: The initial version of this article incorrectly stated that the open day was on Monday 10th March. The 10th March is a Tuesday, and Tuesday is the open day. Spatial Source apologises for any confusion that this may have caused.

Locate15 has been developed to inspire not only those working within the industry but also youth who are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Queensland’s Department of Natural Resources and Mines has recently hired a dedicated spatial educator to develop lesson plans designed to motivate young people to consider careers in Spatial as well as assist teachers in content to support their students.
The Educational Program has been developed and will be delivered by Mick Law, Senior Project Officer, Queensland Spatial Information Council, Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Queensland.
There is no charge to attend. Bookings are recommended for large groups, however walk-ins are welcome.
