About
FemTechNet Wikipedia Meetups aim to engage underrepresented voices on the world’s largest encyclopedia, sustaining engagement not only through active participation in editing and creating new articles, but also through a critical understanding of greater systems and cultures that impact its content. The committee assists in coordinating efforts toward editing Wikipedia throughout the network, from university class sessions to workshops to local edit-a-thons.
This page lists past and upcoming seminars, meetups and edit-a-thons planned by FemTechNet.
