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.
Where will we be mapping?
We will be working on a high-priority project - to be confirmed closer to date!
What do I need?
Bring a laptop, a mouse and enthusiasm (a mouse is not absolutely necessary but it makes mapping much faster).
Where is it?
Meta Office, 11-22 Canal Reach, London N1C 4DB
