Help me! Looking for Wiki-Mentor

Please help me with... the creation of a new page on a repository for Open Educational Resources (Ciênsação/Ciensación/Sciensation | ciensacao.org/ciensacion.org/sciensation.org).
We have been asked by teachers why the repository Ciênsação is not mentioned at Wikipedia. A good point, it would help teachers to find the resources if a Wikipedia page briefly explains what it is about. Now - I just don't want to go ahead and write a Wikipedia page because one could say that I have a conflict of interest: I'm part of the team creating the repository and editing/publishing hands-on experiments on it. Hence, I would appreciate a mentor, who, as independent third, could help me to meet the Wikipedia standards. Regarding notability: The page has been listed at OER Commons (https://www.oercommons.org/courses/ci%C3%AAnsa%C3%A7%C3%A3o-ciensaci%C3%B3n), the OER World Map (https://oerworldmap.org/resource/urn:uuid:b69bd2f8-d9e7-468b-93e3-f95865f8e744) and some researchers of science pedagogy in Brazil told us that they are evaluating the material at schools, which the goal to publish the results soon (ok, that's not yet a resource, but hopefully soon a useful orientation for teachers).
Who of the veteran Wikipedians would like to help me as a mentor to create the page in the Category:Educational_websites?
With thanks and kind regards.

- It seems a little too early to write about that repository on Wikipedia. Directory listings like the ones you present above won't help. It might be better to wait until those researchers have written about Ciênsação in peer-reviewed scholarly journals or reputable education magazines. You can ask for help at the talk page of a relevant WikiProject such as WT:WikiProject Education, but without better references I do not think we can have an article about this repository.
