Get Kids Into Survey

Diamondback Land Surveying
Get Kids into Survey began in 2017 with the creation of the first GKiS poster – a fun resource for the survey community to share with their children in order to help them understand what their parents did at work.
The response from industry members was so overwhelmingly encouraging that, just two years later, they have a whole range of survey posters in production, and we have distributed over 40,000 copies globally! As the Get Kids into Survey community expands through its network of sponsors and Brand Ambassadors, the project will grow to include full programs for educators, scholarship schemes, and a raft of resources that will inspire the next generation of surveyors. As part of their continuing mission to secure the future of the survey industry.
