“A better Wikipedia means a better world for all”
Wiki Education is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves as a bridge between Wikipedia and academia, engaging subject experts and students to improve Wikipedia. We envision a world in which students, scholars, scientists, archivists, librarians, and other members of academic and cultural institutions are actively engaged in sharing their knowledge with the general public through Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other open collaboration projects on the web.
