Have you ever wanted to know how to become a Wikipedia editor or what it takes to get hired in tech?

Presented in partnership with VentureKids Canada, they have launched an impressive year-long Wiki Edit-A-Thon initiative called Inspire, which will help diversify Wikipedia entries by increasing the number of STEAM Canadian leaders profiled. Join us for a chat on why representation matters on Wikipedia, followed by a workshop on how to edit and create Wikipedia pages. This workshop is for youth and younger adults.
