Iron Sheep! A GIS Map Hacking Event.

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!
