|description=Wikidata is a free and open knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines. Launched in 2012, Wikidata acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects including Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary, Wikisource, and others.

Learn what Wikidata is, explore key concepts and vocabulary, how it relates to other Wikimedia projects and see what makes it so powerful.

No experience required!

This session is offered as part of the Wikimedia Australia  and Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand Wikidata Fellowships and will be hosted by Mike Dickison from New Zealand.

You are invited to apply for a grant of $1000 (AUD or NZD) to develop a prototype or undertake an investigation using Wikidata. Successful applicants will be matched with a Wikidatatician who will mentor you throughout your project offering resources, feedback and support.
