Maptime February 2017
Mapping plus 3D Printing Demo!
3D Printing has been a tool that is starting to mature. Join Claus Rinner and Selasi Dorkenoo as they demonstrate what has been done and can be done with GIS and a 3D Printer. We can also help attendees turn their GIS project into a printable 3D model at this event so be sure, so be sure to bring your projects. If you have prior experience and software in using 3D printing, bring that as well!
Bring a laptop! While it isn’t mandatory, hands-on learning and helping others is the best way to learn. There are many opportunities to break out and work on side projects with people you meet to build on the skills you learned earlier, or learn new ones!
Beginners are especially welcome. If you already know everything there is about 3D printing, but want to help or work on mapping projects during the event, this is also the place for you! There will be internet, and pizza supplied by Carto!
Maptime is friendly, diverse and inclusive.

Maptime January 2017
Learn Version Control with Git and Github
Version control, it’s something that many geographers and new developers hear about, and it’s something that developers treat akin to breathing.
What is Git? How can it help me or my team? How can I learn it? What good is it for?
These questions will be answered with an overview and a breakout that will give everyone the bare basics to demystify, learn and expand on this skill that the best organizations use to collaborate and cooperate on complex projects.
Bring a laptop! While it isn’t mandatory, hands-on learning and helping others is the best way to learn so we can’t emphasize this strong enough! If you haven’t connected to the Wifi at Ryerson before, we also recommend you come a bit early so that you can connect with the wifi.
Beginners are especially welcome. If you already know how to use Git but want to help or work on mapping projects during the event, this is also the place for you!
