Mission and goals

The course aims to provide some hands-on training in technical writing and, at the same time, to contribute to the general diffusion of scientific and technical knowledge. This will be achieved by engaging Politecnico's Ph.D. students in the production of new material (or improvement of existing material) for Wikipedia.

Attendees are PhD students in various science and technology degrees, in particular engineering, architecture and industrial design. Half of them will write articles in English, half in Italian.

Instructors

Teachers: prof. Guido Raos and prof. Chiara Castiglioni
Lectures (in English): Andy Mabbett, FRSA (WikimediaUK accredited trainer)
Tutors: Marco Chemello and Niccolò "Jaqen" Caranti

What we do

Each student will produce one complete Wikipedia article or more in English and/or Italian. The choice of the language is by the student.

As alternative to the creation of a new article (preferred choice), it is possible to produce extensions to one or more existing articles. The bare translation of an article is not considered sufficient.

The articles will be chosen during the first/second day in agreement with the teachers, and with the tutors' assistance.

New articles will be developed in individual sandboxes. The full articles have to be published by the morning of the last day of the course (July 5).

Additionally, every student should improve at least other 3 articles.
