Northwest Iowa Tech Team & Sac County Barn Quilts
Technology savvy 4-H'ers used Garmin eTrex GPS receivers to collect the latitude and longitude positions of over 50 historic barns with colorful painted wooden quilt blocks in Sac County. The 4-H'ers then downloaded the valuable data into Google Earth files to create both an internet based driving tour of the historic barns and a printable map. Over 180 hours was invested collecting datapoints and teaching youth about geospatial technologies and careers in this real-world project
