Matt Zook, Ate Poorthuis, and Monica Stephens explain the exciting event they hosted in Manhattan, Iron Sheep. Loosely based off the popular television show, Iron Chef, Iron Sheep was a map hacking event where instead of editable ingredients, teams are given geo-coded data and asked to create "tasty" maps in a fraction of the time a geographer might normally have. Bon Appetit!
