Mozparty/Partner Kit

Partner with Mozilla in our 2012 summer learning campaign

Work with us to help teach the world learn to code this summer. Add your education, coding or webmaking programs into Mozilla's open summer campaign. It's all about open web technologies + maker spirit, helping people make something amazing and publish share it through the open web.

The goal: teach everyday people around the world the basics of coding and webmaking by making and building together. Through a mix of big and small events, tools and resources. Building a global network of instructors and partners along the way.

What's already planned?

What will Mozilla provide?

• Promotion and profile-raising for your events. We'll showcase your events on our Summer Campaign web site (coming soon). And include you in our social media, press outreach, and communication with the global Mozilla community.
• A shared summer platform. With your events appearing on our global map of coding events and teach-ins. And ways for people to share videos and stories about what they made and learned.
• A global day of action. Participate in our big day of coding teach-ins and maker sprints on June 23. To generate press coverage and raise your event's profile.
• Assistance in creating learning programs and opportunities. We can help turn your expertise, technology or mentors into learning programs and opportunities.

Global Day of Action: June 23.

What's going to happen on June 23? (to come)

What's in scope? What kind of learning?

Open web technologies + maker spirit. It's all about "webmaking" -- helping people make something and publish it to the web using open web technology.

Sample learning and making activities

The emphasis is on teaching coding and webmaking basics through pratical hands-on projects. For example...

• Invite users to tweak their Tumblr or WordPress blog, customizing the HTML and CSS in their templates and learning along the way by using easy tools and how tos.
• Host your own informal teach-in. Invite teens to gather around a kitchen table and do a Hackasaurus mission, posting a video of what they made.
• Invite your team or community members to act as mentors and volunteers. Have volunteers  mentor people at small workshops and learning events.
