– Yellow Studio– Red Studio– Green Studio– Blue Studio
Using the selection of coloured stickers…
First come, first served..
‘Tool’ production
Where are you going and bear in mind…
What the ‘Tool’ is..– Marketing: Your slides should include: text,
annotation and photos (movies)– Message: That helps Member Associations to
break down barriers, so it is a recruiting tool for our target people (women young or both)
– Time scale: One hour allocated for this..
Being a Surveyor is not…. ‘Mission: Impossible’
Your Mission… (if you decide to accept it!)
– To measure as accurately as possible the area of a ‘plot’ of land (defined by relevant coloured pins) and then subdivide into two equal areas.
Using ‘Old technology’
All in 50 minutes!!
and then check it … using ‘New technology’
All in 30 minutes!!!
Or Less!!
The Mission - Field Exercise
The following tools are available: Measuring Tapes Optical Squares Compass Ranging Rods
NOTE – it is not expected that the exercise canbe completed in the allocated time but a processof how the task would be completed is required.
And afterwards we will do it the easy way to check your results!
