By the end of the pop-up course students will have completed a spatial analysis and have a greater understanding for GIS. Participants will be able to use tools that help identify real-world problems using publicly accesible data. 

GIS is the dominant tool for spatial anaylsis because it works with all sectors of the economy, managing utilities and analysis for human-environmental systems and processes. Being able to work with GIS is a highly marketable skill and can be helpful for future courses.
