•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).
