Making Crop Mazes with GPS
There will be a program Tuesday June 9th at Weaver Labs, NCSU Campus in Raleigh on crops mazes. GPS offers many advantages for making crop mazes.
One of the most significant is the ability to greatly reduce the time required to layout a maze in the field. In this workshop, you will learn how to take a maze design from concept to layout. The morning session will focus on designing the maze and fitting the design in the field. Participants will have access to a computer with all the necessary software tools and will be guided through the process. The afternoon session will feature taking the designs from the office computer and locating points and paths in the maze with hand held computers and GPS receivers. Several types of GPS receivers will be available to allow the participant to judge which will work best for the kind of maze they want to do. A sample maze will be created based on the designs created.
