How to create an account
If you already have a Wikipedia account, that will work on Wikiversity as well. In fact, an account on any one Wikimedia project will work across all projects. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create a Wikiversity account for free. It’s possible to edit without an account, but we highly recommend creating one. Here are a few of the things an account allows you to do:
 * Create a user page
 * Build a contribution history
 * Participate on talk pages more easily by signing comments with your username
 * Follow changes in pages you add to your watchlist (you can even set up email notifications)
 * Prevent your IP address from being revealed (edits made while logged in are publicly associated with your username instead)

The Special Interest Group of the Mathematical Association of America on Quantitative Literacy (SIGMAA QL)

 * Website: http://sigmaa.maa.org/ql/
 * Description: SIGMAA QL is the Special Interest Group of the MAA which focuses on Quantitative Literacy (QL). SIGMAA QL aims to provide a structure within the mathematics community to identify the prerequisite mathematical skills for quantitative literacy (QL) and find innovative ways of developing and implementing QL curricula. The SIGMAA on QL sponsored a talk on Eventmath at MathFest in 2021, and has shared Eventmath with its membership, via its message board.

First Year Math and Stats in Canada (FYMSiC)

 * Website: https://firstyearmath.ca/
 * Description: FYMSiC is a community of post-secondary mathematics and statistics instructors, which also welcomes high school teachers, international colleagues, members of teaching and learning support centres, and anyone else interested in teaching. Although our primary focus is on teaching first year math and stats courses in universities and colleges, in our meetings, workshops and conferences (check our web page!) we discuss broad issues related to teaching. FYMSiC has hosted a presentation on Eventmath and has promoted Eventmath workshops to its members.

Skew The Script

 * Website: https://skewthescript.org/
 * Description: Skew The Script is a nonprofit that provides free, socially relevant math lessons to over 20,000 high school math teachers. Lessons cover topics that range from gerrymandering and food deserts to sports and online dating. Current course offerings include AP Statistics, AP Precalculus, Algebra II, and Algebra I. Our two-fold mission: 1) Boost math engagement and achievement among students from underserved backgrounds, 2) Prepare students from all backgrounds to think critically as citizens.
