Want to learn about geospatial analysis in R? Are your walls looking a little bare? Or maybe you’re searching for a unique, data-inspired gift for friends or family?
Come join R-Ladies Ottawa for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to make minimalist custom city maps using open-source tools!

**🧐 What you'll learn**
In this workshop, we’ll cover:

* The fundamentals of geospatial analysis (e.g., points, lines, polygons, projections)
* How to access and work with OpenStreetMap data
* How to use R packages like osmdata and ggplot2 to create your own beautiful maps
* How to incorporate data from activity tracking apps such as Strava or Runkeeper to visualize your favourite running or cycling routes (time-permitting)

**🧰 Before the workshop**
To get the most out of this session, please:

* Install R and RStudio (or another IDE such as Positron) on your personal computer
* Clone the workshop repository (code will be shared a few days before the event)
* If you run into setup issues, we can provide access to a Posit Cloud environment as a backup option

**👩‍💻 At the workshop**
Please:

* Bring your own laptop
* Come ready to learn, share, and contribute to a safe and welcoming community

**This is an in-person event with limited space! Please only RSVP if you are able to attend in-person!**

**\*\*\*Please note that the mission of R-Ladies is to increase gender diversity in the R community. This event is intended to provide a safe space for women and gender minorities. We ask for male allies to be invited by and accompanied by a woman or gender minority.\*\*\***

We’re grateful to be part of the Bayview Meetups initiative and extend our thanks to Bayview Yards for generously providing the venue space.
