My students at McKeel Academy of Technology located in Lakeland, Florida, will be partnering with representatives from the City of Lakeland, to guide them through MissingMaps.org. MissingMaps objectives are: 1. To map the most vulnerable places in the developing world, in order that international and local NGOs and individuals can use the maps and data to better respond to crises affecting the areas. 2. To support OpenStreetMap, specifically the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap team (HOT),, in developing technologies, skills, workflows, and communities. Students will be introduced Missing Maps objectives with mini video presentation, then a brief question answer session. We are hoping to join a campaign for regions of Mexico that were devastated by the recent earthquake. Students will be mapping houses and roads.
