Students are required to simply make contributions to the Association for Psychological Science Wikipedia Initiative. They can either create substantive contributions to talk pages, make copyedits and grammatical improvements, or add sources to articles. Elite students will do more, and they will be incentivized and rewarded for expanding the reach of psychology throughout the world.
