Hello,
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.
Thanks
