Let's Make A Map!

This is an exercise geared towards the younger generation (written for a Girl Scouts troop of nine-year-olds) about making maps using Mapbox. The slide deck is made using big.

What's in here?

The slide deck (on the slides page) includes:

• What is a web map?
• What might you include on a web map?
• What should you not include on your map?
• A step-by-step tutorial on using Mapbox's browser editing interface.

The about page includes:

• A page for parents/teachers on how to use the resources contained and their role in making it successful
• A list of things to do after giving this presentation to continue teaching about maps and geography + more information on some of the topics.
• Some photos of cats.

Can I change things?

Yes please. Fork, make changes, make pull requests. I want to build a tool that's useful for kids of all ages and gets them excited about maps.

Some other things that I'd like to do if I ever have free time again:

• Make an adult version of this to teach geospatial concepts in a way that is slightly more verbose while also including the exercise in making a map using Mapbox.
• Make an "OSM Editing for Kids" exercise.
• More cat photos.
