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.)
