Greg Overkamp
 * Greg has been teaching science at I.C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth, VA for 8 years. He has taught earth science, oceanography, as well as a geospatial technology class for juniors and seniors looking to obtain an internship during the summer, a college major in the field, or a local job in the geospatial career workforce. He also uses geospatial technologies (GIS and GPS) in his earth science and oceanography classes to facilitate student learning, so that students can apply their knowledge to real-world situations that require efficient solutions.

Heather Smith
 * Heather has been teaching science in the K-12 setting for 9 years. She taught earth science and oceanography at I.C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth, VA for seven years, and is now a STEM Teaching Specialist for the city. She coordinates and instructs a 7th grade program in biotechnology and crime scence investigation and also teaches a 9th grade course in experimental design and urban planning. In each of these classrooms, Heather uses geospatial technologies such as GPS units and GIS software to teach students how to solve problems.
