Free! Everyone welcome! No previous experience required!

Join us Tuesday, October 10, 2017 from 4-7pm in the Shapiro Design Lab for our inaugural Ada Lovelace Day Wikipedia Edit-a-thon.

Ada Lovelace Day is an international day celebrating the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and maths. At the University of Michigan Library, we’re celebrating Ada Lovelace Day by contributing to and improving Wikipedia articles related to intersectional feminism and technology, including women in STEM, underrepresented groups in technology, and other related topics.

We will provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian, reference materials, and refreshments.

Bring your laptop, power cord, and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. For the editing-averse, we urge you to stop by and learn more about Wikipedia and discover hidden figures from the history of technology and computing.

Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. Once you’ve created an account, please visit our event page dashboard and register yourself by selecting “Join program” and entering passcode: ada.

Want to get a head start with training? We’re offering three workshops in preparation for the event, including one online delivered via BlueJeans for remote participants.
