TCMI staff Lunch & Learn

On November 3, twenty three Children's Museum staff participated in an hour long Lunch & Learn session with user:Witty lama and user:HstryQT. Staff learned about GLAM-Wiki relations, the TCMI project, and basics for getting started contributing to Wikipedia (including resources such as the Advice for the Cultural Sector page). Participants were enthusiastic about the project and encouraged to stay in touch with the WikiProject leaders at TCMI to continue learning how they can contribute their expertise to Wikipedia.
