This workshop is aimed at anyone who is interested in creating an app which contains a map.
We will introduce you to basic concepts and techniques which are required for displaying an interactive map. Together, we will develop a simple Android app, which displays geodata on a map.
Participants should have a computer and basic knowledge of Android Studio and Kotlin to participate in this workshop. We look forward to providing you with an insight into the world of maps.
