Learn how to incorporate maps and Geo-Spatial data into your next creative coding project! The goal of the session would be to introduce campers on the ways to find publicly available map data (from OpenStreetMap's API and elevation data from LiDAR digital elevation models). I'll show off resources to access geographic surveys and scripts to convert .LAZ files to JSON to easily import into JavaScript.
