YouthMappers Special Events:
- Citizen Science Map-A-Thon – Hybrid Event
- Saturday April 25 from 1pm-3:30pm MST
- Register on SDC

- You can’t cool what you can’t see. Every building you trace helps researchers, city planners, and local communities better understand where heat risk is highest — and where solutions are needed most.
o Included in the event:
· Free hands-on training for OpenStreetMap (OSM), RapiD, and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Tasking Manager (HOTOSM).
· Time to practice

o Those who participate can have their work featured in a printable booklet.
Free Professional Development:
- Tuesday, April 14 from 10 to 11 a.m. on Zoom
- Workshop: ArchaMap for Rapid and FAIR Archaeological Data Synthesis
- “Combine archaeological datasets with hundreds of thousands of rows in hours instead of weeks while building links to related datasets. This virtual, hands-on workshop introduces ArchaMap, a CatMapper application designed to turn category chaos into reusable research infrastructure. Learn how to explore existing categories, generate proposed matches for a new dataset, review uncertain one-to-many and fuzzy results, and export merge-ready linkage outputs. Leave with a practical workflow for accelerating synthesis across projects, improving reproducibility, and supporting FAIR principles — no coding required."
