Wikipedia Primary School Edit-a-Thon

Want to make a difference to the foundation phase of Education in South Africa?

Then join us for the first Wikipedia Primary School edit-a-thon to help add and improve articles on Wikipedia that are important to primary school children in South Africa.

Wikipedia is meant to be an education tool but experiences have shown us that once accessible, Wikipedia does not provide information that responds directly to curriculum-based questions. Wikipedia Primary relies on Wikipedia as an existing and growing resource, it solves the need for an encyclopedia capable of responding to curriculum-based questions, and it fosters Wikipedia content, quality and outreach.

Dates : 19 and 26 February 2016

Where : American Corner, Central Library, Old Drill Hall, cnr Parade and Darling Streets

Time : 15:00 - 18:00

Cost : Absolutely free
