The Geographic Information Systems Spatial Analysis Laboratory and Institute for Digital Agriculture and Advanced Analytics will host a series of hands-on GIS workshops for the K-State community during the Fall 2025 semester. All workshops will take place from 9:00-11:00 am in Seaton 3014A. Participants should arrive 10 minutes early to facilitate setup.

Skill Level: Novice

This beginner-friendly workshop introduces participants to the power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for analyzing and visualizing spatial data. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, attendees will learn how GIS can reveal patterns, relationships, and trends that are not apparent in traditional data analysis. Key topics include map creation, spatial data layering, basic geoprocessing, and interpreting spatial outputs to inform decision-making. No prior GIS experience is required—just curiosity about answering “where” questions with data!

Advance registration is required and workshops are limited to 30 participants. Desktop computers will be provided, but personal laptops may also be used. Laptops should have ArcGIS Pro 3.4 installed prior to each workshop.
