| Webmaker Clubs / Mentor Program

| |
| More people teach the web with Webmaker -- going further, engaged longer, and teaching with higher quality.
| |
|
| |
| Focus for 2015:
| |
| retention. invite people to do something year-round. Evolve beyond one-offs events.
| |
| deepen engagement. provide structure and curriculum for mentors to teach further and go deeper. a whole arc and curriculum, instead of just a one-off activity. Develop a lab mentality to experiment & grow.
| |
| target high-value groups. e.g., librarians and after-school programs. A specific curriculum, set of activities, branding and recognition. Explore mobile offering with them.
| |
|
| |
| Webmaker Clubs (whether we “brand” it that way or not) will address these challenges. Clubs are a package of activities to teach the web over a period of time, paired with badges, support and leadership opportunities. They are also a source of innovation and iteration on the ground.
| |
|
| |
| Structured Engagement: In 2014, we built a community of ~10K teachers and mentors to develop, deliver and promote Webmaker. In 2015, we need to provide more structure and value to these lead users to sustain their contributions over time.
| |
|
| |
| High level contribution: Direct our professional development to mentors to deliver better Webmaker Clubs. Get more teaching expertise into the community. Shape the product with their experiences. Deliver transformative online learning experiences, like we currently deliver offline with Maker Party.
| |
|

| |
| People who want to mentor others online using Webmaker tools and platform.

| Software: Deeply dependent on working with Webmaker and Mozilla product teams to evolve:
| |
| rich learning and production software
| |
| effectiveness of webmaker.org to connect people to resources, curriculum and community.
| |
| improved profile and peer to peer interaction
| |
| Reliable, data rich and customizable badging platform that both motivates, credentials and displays achievements on Webmaker and in other
| |

| |
| tools to customize offerings for partners

Essential to work closely with key engagement team staff to build vision, tools and services so partners deliver Webmaker programs effectively. Key partners in 2015 are CoderDojo, Digital Opportunity Trust, Afterschool Alliance and Telefonica. Also, tighten collaborations with Mozilla partners:
