This seminar will be held at MIT in Cambridge, MA in room 32-141. Event announcement

We will go over some basic best-practices of setting orienteering courses from beginner through advanced levels. We will discuss how to use the free software Purple Pen to set a better course and to yield a higher-quality map for printing. Purple Pen has many useful features that will help you set better courses. We'll finish with some q&a, and hopefully you'll leave with a better understanding of how to provide a beautiful map for orienteering courses. Optional: bring your laptop with Purple Pen already installed if you'd like to test this out on your next course setting opportunity.

Presented by Ed Despard and Alex Jospe
