Edit for Equity: STEM
9 October 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of contributors were women.*
Let’s change that.
To coincide with this year’s Suffrage 125 celebrations and with Ada Lovelace day, we invite you to Edit for Equity: STEM, a Wikipedia edit-a-thon to increase the online presence of women and non-binary New Zealanders in science, technology, engineering, and maths. People of all gender identities and expressions are welcome to participate.
First-timers and experienced editors alike are welcome. The event is free, and training, resources, and snacks will be provided.
Register soon, as space is limited: https://edit-for-equity.eventbrite.com

Edit for Equity is proudly supported by Ministry for Women’s Suffrage 125 Community Fund.
*the survey did not note the percentage of trans and non-binary contributors, but it’s fair to assume the number is low.
