there==
•We shall involve the students in Editing both the Swahili and English
Wikipedia. To start us off we shall write about the recent Zanzibar
ferry tragedy which is at present pigeon-holed WP: RA under Swahili.
•We shall also elucidate to the students how to upload photos and
other resources to the numerous Wikimedia projects and generally how
they can get involved in Wikimedia Projects.
•How the campus can help Wikimedia Kenya to distribute copies of the
offline Wikipedia, maybe as an extra-curricular activity.
(FEEL without obstruction to add onto this list of events that shall
make the day a success)
Steve,
I think that showing the students how to edit and contribute to Commons will be difficult
since we'll need a decent internet connection to successfully do that. I'm not
sure what is expected from us, but I thought that I was supposed to make a presentation on
Wikipedia and show them some of the projects that they can join (such as Wiki takes
Nairobi, students clubs and campus ambassadors).
