Webmaker/Campaign: Difference between revisions

To participate in the campaign, all you have to do is make something on the web and share it with others: web pages, videos, games, poems, robots, etc. These activities can already be part of existing programs, i.e. a public library summer reading session or a museum's learning exhibit. However, Mozilla will also offer a baseline set of activities that will allow anyone to get involved, regardless of whether they have access to the participating organizations. We will design, develop, and distribute a Maker Kit that provides the digital tools, learning content, and sharing and display features necessary to join the emerging community of digital makers. The kit will be distributed free of charge through the campaign web site.

As with the Maker Kit, we will design, develop, and distribute a series of guides and a framework that allows educators, teachers, parents, and other volunteers to help people learn how to make things. The kit will contain suggested templates, activities, invitations, graphics, and calls-to-action that help would-be mentors engage makers in the campaign. Mentor kits were a key part of Mozilla's 2012 Summer Campaign, allowing volunteers to help organize and grow participation. The kit will be designed around the key themes of the umbrella campaign, including STEM volunteerism, connected learning, and digital citizenship.
