===Open Source Designer, Mozilla Foundation===
Mentor: [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/ricardo/ Ricardo Vasquez]
"At Mozilla Foundation, we spend a lot of our energy promoting web literacy. We’ve been hard at work the past year building innovative tools, supporting communities, teaching, learning, and shaping the environments in which the open web is made possible. We want everyone in the world to create, not just consume, the Web around them.
As an Open-Source Designer, the applicant will be immersed in the world of products such as Thimble and Webmaker for Android, communities such as Mozilla Learning Networks and Mozilla Hive groups, and initiatives such as Mozilla Advocacy and Fundraising.
The intern will:
* Approach design through an iterative process with our growing user base and community
* Design and implement interfaces and collateral work for our products and initiatives
* Illustrate collateral work for our products and initiatives
* Create and conduct user testing research to generate insights of our products
* Bridge the gap between the behaviour we want users to take and the interface that gets them there
* Prototype and implement work using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript "
