Event Tip – GIS in HIgher Ed. Humanitarian Mapathon

April 11, 2016 By Editor

The University of Northern Colorado and ESRI are sponsoring a Humanitarian Mapathon in conjunction with the GIS in Higher Education Summit which takes place the following day. This event is *open to the public*
Join us for an evening of fun, socializing, learning about OpenStreetMap and doing humanitarian mapping. This is easy, a gratifying way to help some of the most vulnerable populations on Earth, and a chance to be part of the largest and fastest growing crowd sourced geospatial data project – OpenStreetMap!

We will map buildings, roads and waterways in Binga, Zimbabwe to support flood resilience projects from the comfort of… Nighthawk Brewery in Broomfield. Mapping will be based on satellite imagery.

GIS in HIgher Ed. Humanitarian Mapathon
