Three of our very able ICT students met up with three able students from Fairisle Junior School yesterday and went to the brand new Ordnance Survey HQ here in Southampton.
They were learning to become Digimap Ambassadors. We also had a tour of he new building and grounds.
Digimap is an online system which has all of Ordnance Survey's map data in for use by schools.
Our ambassadors explored the system fully and learned some of the tricks and shortcuts.
In the new year, the six ambassadors will plan and run teachers' meetings to share their knowledge and expertise with the staff of the two schools.
Thank you to Darren and Ian at OS for their hospitality!
