What is it?
Mapathons are events where a bunch of people get together to map for impact. This means looking closely at satellite imagery on laptops to carefully draw objects that can be seen --> like buildings or roads. This new data can then be used by humanitarian organizations to support their operations. Given this event is part of London Climate Week our mapping will of course have a climate focus!
Where will we be mapping?
We will be working on high-priority projects releated to climate- TBC closer to date!
What do I need?
Bring a laptop, a mouse and enthusiasm (a mouse isn't absolutely necessary but it makes mapping much faster).
Where is it?
This will take place in-person only in a central London location TBC!
What do I do now?
