Right. I said it was a quick one.

Until next time.

Thanks for reading,

Elly

As promised from my last newsletter, I have some sneak peaks to show you of our comic book too…

BUT first we have some other amazing news to share. Ready for it…

We have an Australian Distributer

Meet Michelle Brooks of CDM Branding in Melbourne, Australia our now Official Distributer for Australasia. Can you believe it? We can’t wait to see the posters being shared and used by many down under.

So a little bit about Michelle. Since 2008, Michelle has managed the career promotion campaign Surveying, A Life Without Limits, under the direction of the Surveying Task Force in Victoria and the NSW Surveying Taskforce. Amazing. The focus has been on promoting surveying career paths and workplace opportunities to students with an interest in STEM subjects with view to increasing the number of Licensed or Registered Surveyors. Today, this great campaign operates across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Working in concert with Destination Spatial Qld, Michelle and her team at CDM developed and launched a complementary brand, Geospatial Science, in 2018.

If you are based in one of the Australasian countries it’s time to get ordering your FREE posters as postage is now a heck of a lot cheaper coming from Australia than the UK previously.  Order here or for orders over 20, email Michelle direct at michelle@cdmbranding.com.au

For those of you that are not based in the Australasia region you can still order direct through our website here 🙂

Ok! So what’s next?

Our comic book. No wait we’ll get to that in a minute.

We’re getting closer to May and that means one thing, well two things actually… TopoDOT User Conference in Orlando and GEO Business Show in London. Are you coming?

Ok so I made you wait. I’m sorry but not really. Back to the comic book! Ooooo….

Let me introduce you to… the Last Surveyor

One of our most significant characters you’ll be getting to know in the upcoming Comic Series from Get Kids into Survey.

The Last Surveyor (name to be disclosed soon) is the sole surviving surveyor in the year 2049. In a future driven mad by unchecked greed and frenzied expansion, he led a band of rebel surveyors, trying desperately to bring order and pull the world back from the brink of total collapse. But, the rebels were hunted – silenced one-by-one – until only he remain. A master of technology, he realised that the only hope of saving the future was to reach into the past – to tap the potential of four bright young minds, and funnel it into his own robotic creations. With his consciousness uploaded to a hidden supercomputer, The Last Surveyor searches across time and dataspace for the perfect team to help him save the world…

Does anyone recognize The Last Surveyor? His character might just be based on someone very closely related to Elaine and I? 😉

I’ll be releasing more top secret updates on this newsletter in the coming weeks leading up to TUC and Geo Business. You’ll also notice some updates on our socials so keep an eye on them (links below).

If you want to get more involved with our upcoming Comic please enquire with myself or Elaine to find out how you can sponsor and help us get this comic into the hands of as many kids across the globe.

Until next time.

Thanks for reading,

Elly

I must say it has been a busy first month on the job. Elly here from #GetKidsintoSurvey. Hello!

So I officially started working full time on #GetKidsintoSurvey as of the 1st Feb 2019…and what can I tell you, it has been none stop. Elaine and I have been on many meetings to spread the word and grow the community racing around London, Yorkshire, Cumbria and other parts of the UK. But don’t worry, for those of you not in the UK I will be putting my jet pack on soon enough and going global this Spring.

Ok so some big news coming your way

But…before I get to the details of our said meetings, we have also started our journey into the comic book world. OMG! What can I say! We have a fantastic writer and … well you will be seriously blown away with what we have in store. We can’t wait to share it with you. The first episode will be due in May. But I will be showing you some sneak peeks on the upcoming newsletters before the official release in May. Shh don’t tell anyone. It will also be a chance for you to get involved and sponsor the upcoming episodes and comic book which will come later in the year. If you have any questions or want to get involved ASAP email me at elly@getkidsintosurvey.com

Ok! So what’s next?

AR!

Yes we are augmenting the posters…and well the comic book too when it comes!!! How exciting? We are starting off with our main gal GEO Ginger. For those of you that are attending the TopoDOT User Conference in Orlando 6th – 10th May or GEO Business Show in London 21st – 22nd May then you will be the first to trial it out. The idea is that the augmented character will tell a story, educate the viewer on survey equipment or a solution. Sponsors can request to augment their character with the goal being that we eventually have a fully immersive scene of animated characters – taking kids (and adults too) to the next level. If you are one of our sponsors, this is a great opportunity to showcase what instruments you have and what they can do, teaching kids but also educating the market. Lots of fun to be had. More to come later…

Ok so back to what I can share with you now!

(…as in, not Elaine…we’re not the same person if that’s what you were thinking. I know it’s confusing but made life easier for our parents if we were all basically called the same name – we have another sister too named Elizabeth, no joke.)
