OpenStreetMap is a worldwide project which aims to create and freely share geospatial information to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as "free" actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways.
This activity is a beginners workshop to contributing to OSM. At the end of the activity, the participants should be able to easily contribute to OSM using their own local knowledge and the tools that the project uses.
