- Wikipedia Takes Columbus (April 10 - 16): A week-long project where we work on illustrating our city on Wikipedia! Students will photograph our campus and Columbus, and upload educational media to the Wikimedia Commons. Visit the event page for more details. Prizes will be awarded in the end!
- Wikipedia Takes Columbus: Buckeye Scavenger Day (Wednesday, April 13 at 5:00 PM, starting at the 18th Avenue Library Room 350A): In place of our regular weekly workshop, we'll be going on a scavenger hunt to photograph our campus. We'll be meeting at 5 PM (instead of our regular 5:30 PM) in our regular Room 350A of the 18th Avenue Library. From there, we'll split into groups and photograph different areas of campus. Water and snacks will be provided! Remember to bring a camera or a phone with decent camera quality.
