International Humanitarian Mapathon 2024 - Day 2!

MaptimeLA is partnering with folks from around the world to host the 2024 International Humanitarian Mapathon!

Across 3 days, April 23-25, we'll be learning about OpenStreetMap, how to contribute to global humanitarian mapping efforts, and how to make your own maps using global data. Everyone is welcome to attend, whether you have mapping experience or not. Just bring your laptop and we'll get you mapping right away!

What’s happening for Day 2? We'll be participating in the UN Crisis Map Challenge and we'll be using the dataset provided by the UN's Smart Maps Group to teach you how to communicate data using maps. Submit your map to the challenge and potentially win a prize! 🎁
