Join us for an enlightening presentation on the Global Positioning Systems. We often take GPS for granted in our daily lives, yet the technology underpinning it is far more complex and fascinating than most realize. See how one layer of innovation builds upon another, making GPS a quintessential example of technological advancement, as well as the ingenuity of humanity.

Don’t miss this presentation by Don Kallgren, a senior technology consultant who engineers command, control, and reconnaissance communications systems for NATO. We will start slowly and unveil the many layers of technology behind GPS, a system we rely on daily (even if we don’t notice it).

A free public event Sponsored by Innovate Chatham, a nonprofit helping Chatham residents flourish with technology.
