We look forward to having you! Please do the following ahead of time, if possible:

• If you do not already have a Wikipedia account, please create one.
• Consider what topics or articles you might want to work on. Review the existing articles, and their talk pages, to determine what kind of work might be needed; and add the article(s) to our list below.
• Reference materials, if you have them: books about education, bookmarks to important online resources, etc.
• If you have any relevant digital photos (that you have taken, or that you know are freely available for use on Wikipedia) that you would like to use on Wikipedia, have them ready for uploading.

• Bring a laptop if you can (we can provide a few if needed)
• Or, if you don't have any of the above, just bring yourself :-)
