Map-making is perhaps one of the most essential human acts.
Not surprisingly, it quenches many thirsts of young people at once:
Self-actualization (who am I?)
Grounding in place (where am I?)
Spatial imagination and analysis (what is out there?)
Creative expression (what matters to me?)
Map-Making Workshops






A single workshop or presentation is an affordable way to introduce mapping ideas and concepts to students, and can be incorporated into vacation programs, summer camps, field trips and more. Topics I've covered in the past include topography (with watercolors), treasure maps, maps of home and neighborhood, and bird's eye view perspective. Most events are 45 - 60 minutes depending upon age and context, and can be on Zoom or any other medium that works for you. Minimum cost: $200 per classroom
