Data Literacy: Introduction to GIS
In this workshop, we will use browser mapping tools to explore the specifics of how to understand and think about location data. In addition to exploring the basics of location data, we will practice with some example datasets, such as spatial demographic data, and even historic map overlays.
No experience is required; registrants should keep an eye on their email after signing up for software instructions.
