Learning edit

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?

Project was beautiful but didn't really go as planned as we where faced with laptop and internet issue

  1. We faced a bit of internet issues during the workshop
  2. faced with system challenge cause most of the systems in the lab wasn't working, and for those students that didn't have a laptop nor phone, we had to hire to get them involved in the practical session.
  • What would you do differently next time?

I will have to notify the school to ensure their systems are in good condition (working perfectly), before going to execute it.

Anything else you want to share about your project?
First of all, it was a wonderful and refreshing time with the students seeing to the fact that, the school where happy to have hosted us, and they student where also excited to be a part of the project of which you can see it from the pictures in the Project page, and are also asking for more projects...Secondly, the project actually did create a better Wikimedia awareness around the region, as other neighboring schools within the region are asking how a project can be brought to their school to engage their students also
