What will happen in your session?

Working as a group, we aim to edit existing Wikipedia pages and create new ones that shine a light on the incredible women in STEM who act as role models to present and future generations.

Open to everyone, regardless of background and gender; we invite complete beginners and experienced editors to attend - we'll provide training for anyone new to editing Wikipedia.

What is the goal or outcome of your session?

To inspire others to create a more inclusive, representative Wikipedia that shines a light on those who achievements have not yet been recognised.

If your session requires additional materials or electronic equipment, please outline your needs.

It will be helpful if those attending our session have a web-enabled device, eg. tablet or laptop, though this is not essential.

Just to flag this one @ryanwarsaw, @teknoteacher has also been accepted in Youth Zone. So we need to make sure we don't overlap.
