A Day in the Life of a Geoinformatician

52°North recently welcomed Lonnie as a student intern for a day. Lonnie has always been interested in computer science. One of the thirteen-year-old’s favorite hobbies is programming, “mainly websites, but also many other small projects and programs”. While participating in the “Jugend hackt Lab Münster” he found out about 52°North and decided he’d like to learn more about our work.

Lonnie spent a day at 52°North. Not only did he participate in a daily stand-up project meeting, he also sharpened his skills in Leaflet map visualization techniques through the hands-on session and performed data exploration exercises in a Jupyter Notebook. The data he analyzed came from OpenSenseMap and will be integrated into the I-CISK project platform for the Budapest Living Lab. He also played a few rounds of table football with the colleagues during the lunch break!

We enjoyed having him and were very impressed by his skills.
