Jonywikis/SPARQL and Wikidata Training at FCE(Technical), Akoka
I participated in the SPARQL and Wikidata training at LASU and I have been participating in other Wikimedia projects since then. From what I learned at the event I have been able to train some of my friends and I have encouraged some of them to contribute to Wikidata. This project is aimed at inviting the facilitators of the event to come support me in replicating what was done in LASU. I am using this event to introduce students of Federal College of Education(Technical), FCE(Tech), Akoka, Lagos to Wikidata and SPARQL.
