Writing STEM Women into Wikipedia Mini WGS.S10 Edit-a-thon
Although Wikipedia is one of the most popular encyclopedias in the world, women are highly underrepresented on its pages. As part of this Massachusetts Institute of Technology mini edit-a-thon in connection with fall 2017 course WGS.S10, students will create original Wikipedia articles about notable women in the STEM disciplines. They will learn the nuances required of successful Wikipedia biographies; research notable women missing from Wikipedia's pages using multimedia resources; and come away having created one viable new article.
