This workshop is an introductory primer into using GIS for simple mapmaking projects. We will learn the basic file formats, how to import and style data, and we will make a map. No experience necessary.

Students, faculty, and staff who have taken this workshop have said:

• “It was really satisfying to create a map in just one session.”
• “This was so helpful.”
• “I thought this workshop was incredibly informative and interesting. I particularly loved how step-by-step everything was, and thought the pace was great for someone like me who had never heard of GIS before.”

Workshop sessions are limited to 8 participants per session, to guarantee hands-on help and troubleshooting. If you register and don’t think you can make it, please email belle_lipton@harvard.edu to make your seat available for someone else.
