Philadelphia is home to a newly active group of Public Labbers. So far, our focus has been on building a Public Lab community in the Philadelphia region (Philadelphia County; the five-county suburban region in PA; southern NJ; and northern DE) and teaching folks how to organize and run their own balloon mapping projects. Local organizersMapping community engagement in open spacesGeographers Michelle Schmitt, Megan Heckert, and Dana Bauer launched a project in summer 2013 to explore how Philadelphians use the city's open spaces. The team plans to use balloon mapping techniques and map-based survey tools (like Shareabouts from OpenPlans) to visualize and document community events and gatherings in parks and plazas throughout the city. Possible project sites include: Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, Eakin’s Oval after renovations, FDR Park, Franklin’s Paine Skatepark and Smith PlayPlace. The group hopes to create a replicable process that can be used by anyone to make data-driven improvements to their neighborhood’s public space.

The event is co-sponsored by Azavea and the (GeoPhilly)[http://www.meetup.com/GeoPhilly/] meetup community. Event information can be found here. In April 2013, Public Labbers Dana Bauer and Sean McGinnis organized and ran a full-day balloon mapping workshop during Philly Tech Week. Over 20 mapping enthusiast participated and learned about launching balloons, building camera rigs, and stitching images together with MapKinitter.

Philadelphia is home to a newly active group of Public Labbers. So far, our focus has been on building a Public Lab community in the Philadelphia region (Philadelphia County; the five-county suburban region in PA; southern NJ; and northern DE) and teaching folks how to organize and run their own balloon mapping projects. Mapping community engagement in open spacesGeographers Michelle Schmitt, Megan Heckert, and Dana Bauer launched a project in summer 2013 to explore how Philadelphians use the city's open spaces. The team plans to use balloon mapping techniques and map-based survey tools (like Shareabouts from OpenPlans) to visualize and document community events and gatherings in parks and plazas throughout the city. Possible project sites include: Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, Eakin’s Oval after renovations, FDR Park, Franklin’s Paine Skatepark and Smith PlayPlace. The group hopes to create a replicable process that can be used by anyone to make data-driven improvements to their neighborhood’s public space.
