Workshop/ DIY ExercisesΒΆ

  • Please form groups around your tables.
  • Each group should have at least 2-3 laptops with QGIS installed
  • We’ll do one example which will be a “follow-along” type, and then there will be time for a DIY set of exercises.
  • Depending on team, groups can quickly present their work at the end of the session.
