Show and Tell

It's #maptimeBoston's first birthday so let's do a show-and-tell night! Bring your projects at whatever stage (finished, in-progress, unformed idea) to share with the group and get friendly, supportive feedback.

Whether for fun or for work, your first map or your 1000th, we’d love to see what you’ve been up to! As always, beginners are very welcome and especially encouraged to show anything they've learned at Maptime.

If you just want to come to see what others are doing or you're looking for inspiration, show up!

Anyone planning to show something will have about 5 minutes or less.

Thanks to CartoDB, we will have some pizza for everyone!

Maptime is, rather literally, time for mapmaking. Our mission is to open the doors of cartographic possibility to anyone interested by creating a time and space for collaborative learning, exploration, and map creation using mapping tools and technologies.

This open learning environment for all levels and degrees of knowledge offers intentional support for the beginner. Maptime is simultaneously flexible and structured, creating space for workshops, ongoing projects with a shared goal, and independent/collaborative work time.

Inspiration for Maptime comes from both hack nights and knitting circles. Both are models of spaces for people to create and learn together. Our goal is to provide this space with an open heart and without pretension. You can bring your own projects to work on, or just hang out and socialize or ask questions. Some people are experts, and some people are just getting started, but all of us are learning, so why not do it together?

Maptime is hands-on, so don't forget to bring your laptop!
