|
The Women's Engineering Society, LSE Library, Heritage Open Days and the Electrifying Women project ( University of Leeds / Science Museum) are joining forces to host a Women Engineers Wikithon. Come along and celebrate the women engineers that deserve a more prominent place in the online historical record. You'll develop your digital skills and learn how to edit Wikipedia in order to harness the power of the web to share knowledge.
Experienced Wikipedia editors and complete beginners are both welcome to attend - we'll provide training for anyone new to editing. If you’ve spotted an article that needs improving, bring along your queries and we’ll see what we can do to help!
This will contribute to the Women's Engineering Society's Centenary Year The WES Centenary Trail is all about putting women from history onto Wikipedia, so their achievements aren't overlooked or forgotten. Take a look at WES on Twitter or on Instagram to get inspired by the brilliant women engineers who don’t have a Wikipedia page … yet!
