What is Maptime?

​

1. A time for learning about maps

2. Hands-on

3. Beginner-focused

4. Emphasis on open source, programming, and web-mapping

​

Maptime exists because community, inclusivity, and accessibility are important and necessary components of positive learning experiences.

Maptime has many different models, so it can work anywhere.

Maptime is an important idea: it shouldn’t be so hard to learn, and we have the power to make it easier – and teach ourselves in the process.

And yes… we have stickers.

Come talk to us.
