Mentor Community 2013 Roadmap | |
| Owner: Chris Lawrence | Updated: 2013-03-22 | |
| We believe that people learn best with others and that mentoring is a powerful, distributed way to connect learners with instructors | ||
2013 Story
- Lay foundations with team, key partners, and network
- Launch an international campaign rallying around "making as learning"
- Mobilize local communities and network them globally
- Build platforms and social APIs for people to gather and teach skills for a digital age
- Celebrate the community at MozFest and set the stage for 2014
2013 Goals for the Mentor Community
- 3.0 Grow a global community of mentors with a maker attitude
- 3.1 Offer compelling on-ramps for mentors to participate in webmaking
- 3.2 Merge Hive + Code Party to create a global mentor community w/ local roots
- 3.3 Make it easier to find local mentors, events, and learning resources online
- 3.4 Create more + better mentor resources: step by step guides for teaching that are hackable
- 3.5 Surface localization opportunities. Tools and starter content should all eventually be translatable for different communities.
What success looks like
- Webmaker.org/mentor is a destination for mentors. It includes community stories, remixable resources, events, and a marketplace for needs and offerings.
- Remixable hacktivity kits released. Mentors are regularly ripping, remixing, and reposting content to Webmaker.org.
- "Making as learning" narrative is widely known and has momentum
- Participation metrics for campaign(s) are hit
- Hive "Cookbook" used to grow & on-ramp new learning networks. 3+ new cities at a Hive Learning Network stage.
- An active webmaker mentoring program with ReMo
- 30+ campaign events as feeder events to MozFest
- A kick-ass Mozfest that wraps with clear community leaders who own part of Webmaker and are set for 2014
