We will get together to improve content related to women, arts, and technology. Beginners are welcome! Wikipedia training will be provided. And while this event is focused on encouraging women to edit Wikipedia, people of all genders are welcome.
NOTE: the museum does not open to the public until 11:30 a.m. Those wishing to gain access for the 10:15 a.m. behind-the-scenes tour MUST RSVP in advance, and arrive promptly at 10:00. If the tour has already departed, latecomers may have to wait until 11:30 a.m. to enter.
What to bring
A laptop (tablets can work, but the editing experience is much easier with a keyboard)
Any research resources you would like to refer to.
You're welcome to bring your camera and take pictures!
If arriving after the museum opens at 11:30 a.m., ask information desk or the security officers to direct you to the MacMillan Education Center. It is at the west end of the building, closer to the F Street entrance, near the hallway with the "Experience America" and Folk Art galleries.
Childcare
NOTE: Childcare registration closed Wednesday 7/22 – there were no sign-ups, so there will be no on-site childcare, BUT, through a partnership between Wikimedia DC and and
