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 On 2 Jul 2017 15:56, "Heather Leson" <[email protected]> wrote: > Amazing.
