Both beginners and experienced mappers are welcome to join this mapathon, please choose your ticket according to your level of mapping skills.
Where will we be mapping?
We will be mapping high priority tasks from the HOT Tasking Manager.
What do I need?
Just a laptop (please bring your own with you), a mouse and enthusiasm (mouse isn’t absolutely necessary but makes the mapping A LOT faster).

Cool event! Good luck.
I’m curious about the part about OpenStreetMap training, and what topics are covered. We hold our own outreach programs, but barely cover the basics in a 2-hour training session.

@GOwin Likely creating buildings and basic use of iD. Since iD can be picked up very fast and since HOT only usually asks for buildings, this is the main thing I want to go over.
I will be there helping all of the day, so nothing should be impossible/too hard!
