BCLA Conference 2014 Presentation Description

Webmaker Party: Building & Engaging a Community of Learners and Mentors

Let's have a Webmaker party! Mozilla has built a suite of online tools: Thimble, a webpage editors; Popcorn Maker, a video editor, and X-Ray Goggles, an easy to use code inspector and changer; with the explicit goal of helping people create things on the web. It's all hosted for you and the fun part is that you can remix what someone else has created (including many included starter projects) to make a new version that is all your own.

Come learn about Webmaker, how you can run a Webmaker party with simply time and planning, and how we can all contribute to building a community of makers, learners, mentors, and learners turned mentors as well as other ways in engaging the community from a Mozillian perspective. In the second part of the session, we will be running a maker party session so you can get an idea of what it's like to participate and what a Webmaker party might look like.

No prior knowledge required, but for the workshop part of the session we highly recommend you bring a laptop or a friend with a laptop to learn together. We’ll even have prizes!
