    Why Learn GIS?

    Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are powerful tools used to capture, manage, and analyze spatial data across fields like urban planning, environmental science, public health, and logistics. GIS supports location-based decision-making by turning complex data into visual maps and insights. Learning GIS can help you apply spatial thinking to real-world challenges and advance in data-driven roles.
