NetHope Workshop
Mikel Maron, Community Team Lead @ Mapbox
In this hands-on workshop, we'll learn how to build custom maps & visualizations using open data and free, open-source, offline-ready tools from Mapbox. Through hands-on activities, we will cover basic Mapbox concepts and tools, including:
- Editing & styling maps in Mapbox Atlas, an offline map data & design tool
- Developing map visualizations with Kepler, a powerful and easy to use open source geospatial analysis tool for large-scale data sets
By completing this workshop you'll learn how to...
- Create & publish a new style in Studio from a template
- Add a new layer with a custom tileset source to a style in Studio
- Build two different custom visualizations in Kepler
Some familiarity with working geographic data is helpful, but not required. No experience with web mapping is required. But everyone is welcome.
- Laptop with browser (Chrome or Firefox preferred)

This workshop would not have been possible without the hard work I borrowed from Anjana Vakil, my excellent co-presenters Coleman McCormick from Fulcrum, and John Crowley from NetHope. Thanks NetHope Summit for creating this space for us to build together.
