Wikicurricula is a visualization tool that shows metrics about Wikipedia articles that are relevant to a country's national school curriculum.
The visualization was developed by Wikimedia Italy's project [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_e_scuola_italiana | Wikipedia a Scuola Italiana]]. It consists of a static website that visually represents the data stored in a TSV file, plus a Python script that generates this TSV by calling different APIs
[[https://wikicurricula.wikimedistas.uy|The implementation of this tool in Uruguay]] additionaly takes advantage of [[ https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikidata_for_Education | Wikidata for Education]], Wikimedia's initiative to digtize curriculum data. Currently, this process is done manually: we make a [[https://w.wiki/7P$C|query in Wikidata Query Service]] to obtain the curriculum topics, we download the data, clean it, and run the Python script.
The main goals of this project is to use this visualization tool as an interactive and engaging way to visualize curriculum structured data on Wikidata.
For this, we need to:
* Document the process of setting up de visualization tool for other countries and languages
* Make the integration between Wikidata and the visualization tool more seamless.
* Improve the user interphase

**Microtasks**
[] Make a local install of [[Wikicurrícula|https://github.com/wikicurricula-uy/wikicurricula-uy.github.io]] and document the steps to do so. It is a static HTML+CSS+JS website.
[] Translate the interphase to English
[] Adapt the [[https://github.com/wikicurricula-uy/curriculaBot|data gathering script]] so that it can work with articles from the English Wikipedia
