Wikimedia DC works with universities and other educational institutions to build awareness of our mission and promote academic contributions to free knowledge projects.
University edit-a-thons: Wikimedia DC has partnered with The George Washington University, the University of Maryland, American University and others on private and public Wikimedia events that empowered librarians, faculty, and students to contribute collections and content to the world's largest online encyclopedia.
Intern trainings: Wikimedia DC offers Wikimedia engagement training workshops to organizations and agencies employing seasonal or full-time student or non-student interns. Interns learn to edit Wikipedia and engage with other Wikimedia projects. These trainings provide interns with high-impact educational opportunities that give them new skills and experiences and further the educational and collaborative goals of their hosts.
