Objectives

Esri has collaborated with YouthMappers on some, and in this case would like to introduce a few novelties: taking your community (OSM) data to the next level in terms of analysis, exploring vector basemap data, and creating StoryMaps.

  • learn some new free tools πŸ“”
  • have fun! ✌️
