Day 15/100: Mapping education access in Sierra Leone 🎓

Client project (2021) for Fab Inc: How far are children from schools?

Approach: #MapboxGL + Isochrone API to calculate realistic walking times (not straight-line distance). Generated 15/30/60-minute zones from each school location across actual terrain.

When mapping serves education equity, every pixel represents a child's opportunity to learn. ✨
