face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">GISSA have been
looking for a way to improve the awareness of GIS, particularly amongst schools
now that GIS is part of the curriculum. We have become aware of the <B><SPAN
style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Science Unlimited</SPAN></B> initiative [<A
href="http://www.scienceunlimited.co.za">www.scienceunlimited.co.za</A>] started
by Richard Chernis in 2004. Their vision is to offer the youth a life-changing
experience by opening a wide and exciting window on science and technology. The
format is a week of presentations/workshops plus a hall full of exhibitors.
There were more than 40000 visitors last year, including 250 schools. The next
event will take place at the <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Tshwane Events
Centre 3-7 March 2008</SPAN></B>. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto"><FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">GISSA is extremely
excited about this opportunity to interact with learners, teachers and the
general public. We therefore intend to host a stand in the hall, and will also
be making daily presentations to (1) support the teachers with their GIS
education and (2) a basic introduction to the wonders of GIS. We welcome and
encourage support from all our members. We attach the forms for registering as a
speaker/presenter, plus the invitation to exhibitors should your company wish to
apply directly. Alternatively, you can be part of the GISSA presence and assist
us with our presentations and the stand. We will need exciting demos, colourful
maps, leaflets and just your time and experience.
