| Create your own maps by MaptimeSG (Workshop)
Nowadays, everyone has access to geospatial information and participate in creating a map. This process helps us interact with our surrounding environment more in-depth, and understand the space we live in. For example, you can learn about the trees you see at a park; their name and characteristics through GPS and interactive map; you can also report problems you see on roads (e.g. a cracked road, faded lane markings) and share with the public. With many available digital tools and applications, more and more people have become familiar with geospatial interactions and enjoy the usefulness of it. How can we further extend this concept? In this workshop, the community-led MaptimeSG is conducting a two-hour session to teach participants some of the basic skills to work with geospatial data as well as ongoing examples of how this concept can be applied to a real project in order to solve issues. Participants will also get the chance to gain hands-on exercises to make their own map, tell the stories in the neighbourhood to inform and inspire others. |

| Creating and Validating Crowdsourced Data by Grab (Workshop)
Creating crowdsourced data is an interesting process but to make sure that the data we create is accurate, we’d have to validate them for their accuracy and correctness. This workshop will focus on sharing points and tips on validating the data and change-set we create with the community. |
