Mapping Data with QGIS 2: Find (and Create) Geospatial Data In-Person

This workshop is aimed at GIS beginners who are excited to start playing around with real geospatial data.

SKILLS GAINED: Attendees will find and download a GIS dataset from a government source, generate a new shapefile in different ways, convert between vectors and rasters, and practice renaming files.
