Enhancing Child Protection Awareness on Wikipedia

The project aims to increase public awareness of child abuse trends and developments in child protective services in the United States by enhancing the quality and quantity of information available on Wikipedia. Students will research recent statistics, case studies, and policy changes related to child protection. They will then synthesize this information into well-referenced, neutral, and informative Wikipedia articles. The goal is to provide accessible, accurate, and up-to-date information to the general public, educators, and policymakers. This project will allow students to apply their research and writing skills while contributing to a meaningful cause. By focusing on a single platform, students can make a significant impact within a manageable scope.
