About this Event
Map for good! Join our Mapathon to trace roads & buildings in OpenStreetMap for humanitarian aid. Beginners to GIS pros welcome.
Mapathon is a volunteer-driven mapping initiative that brings people together to improve open-source maps for humanitarian and community resilience efforts. Participants use digital tools (i.e., OpenStreetMaps) to trace buildings, roads, and landscapes in under-mapped regions, providing vital data that supports emergency response, public health, and sustainable development around the globe.
These events are open to anyone — from GIS professionals to first-time mappers — and embody the UC community’s spirit of collaboration, learning, and global impact.
