Agenda for Mozilla Jetpack for Learning Design Camp

The agenda for Jetpack for Learning Design Camp will be dynamic, with sessions being proposed and designed both before and during the event.

The agenda will be split between time for code sprinting and interactive discussions on relevant topics. We welcome any and all input in mapping out how we should spend the time in Austin.

Overall Agenda Goals

• Foster a community of Jetpack/add-on developers that are interested in educational applications for their projects
• Generate a plan for dissemination and outreach to make sure lots of people will use the Jetpacks
• Provide participants with necessary learning to enable them to become top-notch Jetpack developers.
• Promote the idea of serving as Jetpack ambassadors, including running Jetpack projects beyond the camp and giving talks about Jetpack.
