Mapathon Contest and the Exhibition of Maps from Fall GEOG 110 Class
GTU recently hosted a dynamic Mapathon Contest, bringing together undergraduate and graduate students for a friendly and creative map-making competition. Participants showcased vibrant hand-drawn maps, colorful creations, and innovative digital designs.
The event celebrated creativity and community, with students and faculty appreciating the art and science of cartography. A fascinating collection of real-world and fantasy maps from former cartographers added to the excitement.
Congratulations to the winners: Michelle Hess (undergraduate map), Emma Harris (coloring contest), and graduate students Thea Brenner and Lulu Liu (coloring contest). The event also featured an exhibition of maps from the Fall 2024 GEOG 110 class, The World: Peoples and Regions, envisioning Wisconsin.
A big thank you to the organizer, Alex Hamilton, and congratulations to all participants!
