Wikicamp

Wikicamp was held at the Nazarbayev Intellectual School in Petropavlovsk. 

The coordinators of the Wikipedia project of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Chemistry and Biology in Petropavlovsk organized the wikicamp project. The event was attended by students of grades 7, 8 and 9 – about 80 students in total. The goal of the Wikicamp is to develop content in the Kazakh language in the open encyclopedia Wikipedia and increase the number and quality of articles about Kazakhstan in other languages. In the future, the most active participants of the Wikikamp will be identified and awarded. 

Today, the members of the school club “Wikipedia” are 17 project coordinators from each shanyrak. Over the 11 years of the project’s existence, NIS network students have written and published thousands of articles about famous and prominent people of our country and about Kazakhstan in an open encyclopedia. Last academic year, Petropavlovsk students published 161 articles. During the wikicamp, 78 more articles were uploaded to the encyclopedia.
