The 2022 course classroom at Polimi

Mission and goals edit

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. They will write articles in English or Italian.

What we do edit

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

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

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

New articles were developed in individual sandboxes. The full articles had to be published by the morning of the last day of the course (1 July).

Additionally, every student had to improve at least other 3 articles.
