next week-end, Wikimedia Spain, with six science museums from five different cities in Spain, organizes an edit-a-thon about Spanish scientists and inventors. This is a collaboration with FECYT (Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología). The museums who participate are:

*MUNCYT, La Coruña

*MUNCYT, Alcobendas (Madrid)

*Museo de la Ciencia, Valladolid

*Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, Madrid

*Casa de la Ciencia, Logroño

*Casa de la Ciencia, Sevilla

we could involve volunteers for every museum. There wil be different activities and the edit-a-thon will run on Saturday and in some museums also on Sunday.

FECYT freely shared 104 portraits of Spanish scientists on Wikimedia Commons.[3]

There is a coordination page on Spanish Wikipedia [1] and Galician Wikipedia [2]

The hashtag of the event is  #WikimaratónCiencia and we invite you to participate on-line and to spread the word. This activity, in five different cities and six different museums the same week-end is a new challenge for us.
