Well, there are a lot of new experiences for us these days. Of course, the possibility that you are now a remote GIS professional, parent, homeschooler, and a number of other things you need to be while sheltering in place is not the least of them. they. So to help you tap into that glimmer of opportunity to collaborate…yes collaborate…with your kids on GIS projects, I present to you this, our sixth #TakeYourWorkToKidsDay challenge…
Living Atlas in cross stitch
You read correctly. Go get the kids. There are three stages in this challenge…
- Open ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, find layers of interest, and choose a topic.
- Restore this data in the form of cross-stitch cards, of course. Engage with your young GIS proto-professionals. Ignite those imaginations.
- Share your map on social media (tag us and #TakeYourWorkToKidsDay) or comment below with your masterwork.
You will do this. Here’s how.
0:00 Enter the “Sampler” style for ArcGIS Pro.
0:49 Add style to Pro.
1:17 Add Living Atlas data to your map. Don’t forget the handy global background layer that will serve as your fabric base.
2:38 Make it look all cross stitch.
5:42 Give the map some cool typed labels.
6:22 Configure the layout.
8:18 Share it!
And wow! You and your offspring will have meticulously stitched together a beautiful, charming and engaging map of important scientific data. Then you’ll have a nice breakfast and maybe go out and throw some catches. Then you’ll pat their little heads, look them in the eyes, eyes that are familiar to you, and say something like “it’s nice to work with you”.
To like, John
