Festival2013/GorillaMentoring

The idea

Have a team of mentors acting in a similar capacity to the Human-API from previous years, but with the more engaging of participants sitting in the big space, not working on anything in particular.

Mentors should...

• ...have experience with prior events that either they've run, or attended.
• ...be outgoing, and able to engage people in a making activity.
• ...have a good understanding of starter makes exist, and the skills they encourage.

Goals

• Teach webmaking to those who wouldn't have thought of the technical side of things (html, css, js) as being something they could do at the festival.
• Recuit more mentors into the webmaker community.
• Act in a similar capacity to the human api, but with less focus on technical work, and more on teaching webmaking skills.

There will be...

• Teaching
• Helping those who don't think they can code, code.
• Sharing
• Skills, makes, experience
• Organizing
• Breakout learning + games
• Monkeying around
  • ... stay tuned to find out more
