Who will be teaching?
Katka Pavkova has been fascinated by maps all her life, and it’s unlikely that will ever change. Her dedication to colourful charts led her to get a degree in cartography and hang maps in every room of her home! Nowadays, she teaches cartography at Monash University and RMIT. She will guide you to find your own way to become a map and navigation pro.
