Make a Video (and get featured)
Ready to be the next great filmmaker? Or at least the next great FSA filmmaker? Here's your chance! You can use Popcorn (on Webmaker) or your own tools. Create a video about Firefox Student Ambassador, about an event you or your Firefox Club hosted, about why you use Firefox, introduce Firefox OS and much more. Your video may just get featured and be viewed by people from all over the world.
Get started with this Video Tutorial Guide.
Remix and Make the Web
Webmaker is our awesome online resource to teach the Web. Thousands of people everywhere are making and remixing online projects. They're exploring, learning, and creating. That's what we want you to do too! Head over to the Webmaker activities gallery and pick something to remix (or make your own if you're up to the challenge). Learn how to use Webmaker tools and then bring this knowledge to your university and local community.
If you've made or remixed something FSA-related, please post it online on your own social media channels and add #FirefoxStudents. This way we can find it, congratulate you, and maybe even share it with everyone!
Host an Awesome Event
Host a Maker Party and #TeachtheWeb
As a Firefox Student Ambassador, you are also a web educator and here to unite enthusiastic web users with hands-on learning and making. It's easy to do with Webmaker! Host a Maker Party and invite friends, students, and your community to join together and learn how to code, create videos, and build apps. We provide the tools, you provide the power.
Read this guide on throwing your very own Webmaker event.
