Second-year students recently demonstrated the power of digital storytelling through ArcGIS StoryMaps, creating interactive visual narratives that explored our emotional connections to geographic locations. Some of the best submissions were awarded prizes by the lecturer and Esri South Africa.

Representatives from Esri South Africa, Lauren Sweiden and Verosha Naidoo attended the prize-giving event. They shared valuable information on internships and other career options in the industry. Students were also reminded of the vast application value of spatial technologies and were encouraged to actively look for innovative and imaginative ways to use these technologies in their future career paths.
