Flyer for a free workshop titled “Digitize Your Park! Mapping for Local Communities,” co-branded with the MIXI Institute for STEM & the Imagination and Adelphi University logos at the top. Large bold text explains that participants will learn how to use digital literacy and free tools like OpenStreetMap and Mapillary to map local parks and community spaces, grow their networks, and build data and digital skills. A subheading reads “Presented by BetaNYC” with the BetaNYC logo. Event details on the right say: Date – Thursday, November 20th; Time – 5–6 pm; Location – MIXI @ St. Francis College, 179 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, NY. On the left, text reads “Free to sign up! Use the QR code” above a large QR code with a short URL “bit.ly/digi-parks” underneath. Along the bottom, small text notes the event is hosted by Maps @ MIXI, a critical cartography and data visualization club, with another small QR code for their mailing list. The lower half of the flyer features a simple illustration of a park scene with a bench, a bird, and stylized greenery in green, brown, and gray tones.
