Census Data 101: Finding, Understanding, and Mapping

Event box

Join us for an introductory workshop on census data designed to explore the fundamentals of what census data is, where to find it, and how to use it effectively. Through a combination of presentation and hands-on learning, you will gain practical experience with census resources and see real-world applications through an interactive GIS exercise. We will use the computers in the GIS & Data Lab, unless you prefer to bring your own. No prior actions are needed before attending!

This workshop will take place in the GIS & Data Lab, which is only accessible to those with an active MIT ID card. MIT Touchstone authentication is required to register.
