Festival2013/GorillaMentoring

Idea: Have a team of mentors acting in a similar capacity to the Human-API from previous years, but with the more engaging of participants sitting in the big space, not working on anything in particular.

Mentors should...

...have experience with prior events that either they've run, or attended.
...be outgoing, and able to engage people in a making activity.
...have a good understanding of starter makes exist, and the skills they encourage.

Goals:

Teach webmaking to those who wouldn't have thought of the technical side of things (html, css, js) as being something they could do at the festival.

Recuit more mentors into the webmaker community.
Act in a similar capacity to the human api, but with less focus on technical work, and more on teaching webmaking skills.

There will be:

Teaching
Helping those who don't think they can code, code.
Sharing
Skills, makes, experience
Organizing
Breakout learning + games
