Surveyor in a Crate
The ACLS is a partner with other sister surveying associations in a initiative called the Surveyor in a Crate which is lead by the Saskatchewan Land Surveyors’ Association. It will be a teachers' resource kit to be used in classrooms across the country to illustrate the use of geometry in real life situations and at the same time introduce students to surveying in a fun way by playing games.
This is a career awareness initiative to get high school students interested in surveying by being exposed to surveying tools and problems in the classroom. A similar initiative has been very successful in Alberta.
These Crates should be available before the end of 2008 and the ACLS has ordered four of them to be circulated in schools who submit a request.
