[HOT] Mapping with Kids

Sun Jul 2 15:06:20 UTC 2017

Hi Heather,

A couple of us at MSF-UK are currently holding discussions with a handful
of London schools about holding regular mapathons for 15-16 year olds. We
are planning to pair-up small groups of students with Missing Maps Mapping
Mentors - voluntary positions we will soon advertise. We will also be
putting together some humanitarian GIS exercises for students with GIS in
their curriculum.

I will keep you updated.

Best,

Paul
MSF-UK
