Giving Back: Helping us build maps with OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative, open-source project that allows people from all over the world to create a free, editable map of the world. The data from OSM can be used in various ways including production of paper maps and electronic maps (similar to Google Maps, for example), geocoding of address and place names, and route planning. In addition, data from OSM has been used for scientific research and humanitarian aid.
Join Illinois Tech counselor Tylar Hardy for a short tutorial on how to use OpenStreetMap. After the tutorial, you'll be able to pick a project and work with other admitted students to build a map of your own! This is a great way to participate in a service-based activity while meeting your future classmates!
