[OSM-talk-ie] Portmarnock Community School and OpenStreetMap

[Ciarán Staunton]

Just a quick shout to the list about Portmarnock Community School who are
Sage Global Entrepreneurship World Champions 2017. The champions are
decided after a World Cup competition. This involved 32 teams explaining
their projects, and making competitive pitches. The whole thing was based
on OpenStreetMap of course re-using the #MapLesotho data they had eagerly
helped to create. They are just back in Ireland with an impressive looking
trophy, and a small bit of prize money which they are donating to a school
in Lesotho. The thing I liked most about this was they made their entry was
they included different types of outcome in the data. Their project is
called Global Citizens Mapping the Future. You can follow that handle on
twitter or see a write up on MapLesotho - dot - com (sorry for the lack of
hyperlink).
