Educational Experiences for Geomatics Scientific Dissemination

Description

The present work aims to illustrate the experience in geomatic dissemination, gained by actively participating and contributing to seminars, lectures and educational workshops, applying both traditional and innovative teaching methods. The main focus is on two educational workshops: one on altitude, its measurement techniques, issues and the evolution of the instrumentation employed; the second on photogrammetry applied to various environments and scenarios, such as securing buildings and ruins in emergencies or underwater analyses, mapping and surveying of coral reefs. In both workshops, the authors begin by capturing the attention with simple examples of every-day experiences related to the workshop's main theme, then give explanations using posters, videos, simple games and practical experiences that can improve understanding. The authors scientific dissemination highlights the concrete application of Geomatics in every-day life and enhances the audience emotional involvement. The workshops' main goal is to stimulate the audience curiosity to understand the basic concepts, starting from intuitive considerations and questions from the audience itself. This allows the introduction of the main concepts of Geomatics and highlights its full potential.
