Edit-a-thon and Backstage Pass at Museu del Disseny de Barcelona- April 2014
10 hours edit-a-thon for 100 design students

During April we did the central activity of the project where we are mixing GLAM and EDU with the Design Museum of Barcelona. Around 400 students in 25 classrooms of 13 design schools are improving Wikipedia Articles. On April 25 we did a 10 hours long design editathon (organized in groups from 10 to 20 people) at the Documentation Center of the Museum. Click here to see more pics. It was the opening day of the documentation center so students could behave as beta testers. One of the good points was doing it graduatelly with small groups so we could help them personally and also that they could take the books back home (15 days free-rent), so Wikipedia articles are being improved since then. We also did a backstage pass to the warehouse of the documentation center and a general guided tour to the building.

Winners got great Prizes and Barnstars. It run from 00:01 16 March until 23:59 15 April 2014 (CET UTC+01:00). The contest was simple in structure, based on a KISS point system: You get points while improving articles, with the goal for each participant to gain as many points as possible. Our primary mission and goal (Amical) is for the sum of all human knowledge to be available in Catalan and for all knowledge about Catalan culture to also be available in every language. This project has been just one of our first international steps.
