Hello everyone!
There's already been a lot of inspiring reactions to the the Year of
Science, so I'm delighted to say that the Wiki Education Foundation (Wiki
Ed) is officially launching our Year of Science work in the USA and Canada
today.
There's a blog post pointing to the work we're doing:
https://wikiedu.org/blog/2016/01/19/wikipedia-year-of-science/
There's our Year of Science page for academics and their institutions,
describing what we're doing and how to contact us:
http://wikiedu.org/yearofscience/
And finally, we're handing over the reigns to the Wikipedia Year of Science
Portal to community members, so they can share ideas, news and events
related to the WP:YOS (that's a shortcut! or):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Year_of_Science
We'd love to see what chapters and projects can do with this theme, so
please spread the word freely! We're also hoping people will use
#yearofscience or #YoS when they do.
We're looking forward to seeing what we can all do together.
