Wiki-a-thon to support BIPOC Scientists and Engineers
October 22 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Free
Wikipedia overwhelmingly recognizes the achievements of white people. Join us as we add wikipedia pages for BIPOC leaders in science and technology, highlighting their often overlooked accomplishments and ensuring that the next generation can see role models who look like them.
No experience is necessary – just bring a laptop!
We will provide a list of scientists who don’t yet have pages, or you can come up with your own! The event will begin with a short training on how to edit Wikipedia, followed by time to write your own article on a scientist, engineer, or technologist of your choice.
Please RSVP above for a Zoom link if you will be attending virtually, or to let us know that you are coming in person. Snacks will be provided!
