Details
Celebrate women's rich jazz heritage by joining us for a Wikipedia edit-a-thon! You will learn about Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, the anatomy of a Wiki article, and how to contribute to this free online encyclopedia.

We will focus on creating and developing articles that preserve our history from women jazz musicians.

What to bring: - limited laptops will be available but please bring a laptop and a power cord if you are able. - your instrument if you are a musician and would like to jam

No Wikipedia experience necessary; training session at 4:30. To participate you don't need specialized knowledge of these topics or of Wikipedia. Please create a free user account on wikipedia.org before the event if you are able. There will be plenty of reference material and a limited number of laptops available.
