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

What do I do now?

Get yourself a ticket for the event.
