Surveying at Woodrow Wilson High School

Gary Williams and Patrick Baldasaro from TSPS were kind enough to bring a total station and rod out to the Woodrow Wilson High School football field to show the students what surveyors are really doing when we see them standing out there on the side of the road with their giant tripod.  A couple of students were tasked with the ever-important job of setting up and leveling the total station and the tripod.  Students then established a baseline point with Patrick and Gary’s help and then began to map out different points around the school.  Students were particularly impressed with the level of precision of the total stations.  More pictures from the surveying demonstration can be found here.
