The Public Mapping Mission: an online seminar and a hands-on weekend mission

Join us for The Public Mapping Mission, an online seminar and a hands-on weekend mission!
Sign up for an online seminar about balloon/kite mapping. Meet community innovators who have mapped oil spills, landfills or industrial pollution sites. Hear examples on how mapping influenced public policy. Confirmed panelists include Francois Grey, CUSP, Jeff Warren, Public Lab, and Beth Noveck, The GovLab. Date: Nov 22, 2013, 3:30PM EST – 5:00PM EST.
Then sign-up for Part 2 of the series for a Hands-on MapDay. Put together a team, build a balloon/kite mapping kit, and head out to start mapping. At the end of the day, all teams will meet online to share images and stories. Date: Dec 7, 2013 
What will you learn?

• You will learn how to use DIY technology (like balloon mapping kits) to work with government or influence policy.
• You will meet some of the people behind the balloon mapping technology, and some of the most inspiring case studies.
