Timeline of activities[edit]

Please state the timeline of your activities, and include the start and end date for your project

Activities[edit]

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

We plan to use this event to introduce Wikidata to students, have them create accounts, and make their first edits, and follow up with them on a later date. Since one day would not be sufficient for a training, we plan to follow up with them after the event. There would be cake-cutting and we believe that this event may help activate this school as one of Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Fan Club.
