Ready to take your storytelling skills to the next level? In this interactive two-hour workshop, you will not only learn how to craft compelling narratives with Story Maps, but you will also get to create your very own story map! Whether you’re a student, faculty member, or just intrigued by the power of maps, this session is designed for you.

We will begin by exploring the fundamentals of spatial data representation and showcase the process of data acquisition in both qualitative and quantitative research. You will discover how geocoding transforms street addresses into precise coordinates that bring your story to life. But the real magic happens in the second half of the workshop, where you will engage in hands-on map-making, using a dataset provided by the hosts. By the end of the session, you will walk away with your own customized story map and the skills to keep exploring possibilities of storytelling with maps. Join us for a fun and creative experience where Story Maps will become your new favorite way to share your research, travels, or any story you want to tell.
