Mini Ada Lovelace Day Workshop at Visva Bharati
Our 3rd Science Communication Workshop will cover how to create Open Access content in Wikipedia. You will learn to be a beginner Wikipedian (like me). Women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) are under-represented in Wikipedia. International Ada Lovelace Day aims to raise the profile of notable, but overlooked, women in STEM. The Wikipedian edit-a-thon is a popular event in which people edit or create Wikipedia pages, like this one, I made for Canadian Professor Kathy Martin.
