Together with fellow students and members of the Middle States Division of the Association of American Geographers, you will contribute geospatial data to OpenStreetMap, a free and editable map of the world that is used by communities, organizations and governments worldwide to address local development challenges and aid disaster response. The exact project will be determined closer to the event. In past years, Rutgers students, staff, and faculty worked together on a mapping project to help NGO efforts with relief operations in Puerto Rico, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. No mapping experience or knowledge is necessary. Training will be provided. Join at any time during the scheduled event! Sponsored by the New Brunswick Libraries and the Department of Geography. We will use the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap platform to contribute data. Rest assured that the selected project will be appropriate for beginners. But if you're looking for a head start, check out these online tutorials about HOTOSM and their iD editor: Sponsored by the New Brunswick Libraries and the Department of Geography. |
