Summer webmaking campaign

About this Campaign

This summer, Mozilla will be organizing a learning & making campaign – our Summer Code Party – targeted primarily at young people, to get them to use the summer to start becoming web makers -- teaching them to code in a fun, engaging, and somewhat informal way, as a pathway to making cool stuff on the web.

It'll look a lot like a cross between a "day of action" that a political organization might run, but crossed with a very different type of event and goal.

The campaign will:

  • Focus on learning through making, letting participants take something they're passionate about and use that as a fun vehicle for learning.
  • Launch on June 23 with a Kickoff Weekend of Code to focus activities and provide participants something larger that they'll be a part of.
  • Be open to anyone who wants to participate, and inclusive of many different toolsets (events will not be solely focused on Mozilla software).
  • Provide badges for participation and follow-through.
  • Be a collaborative experience, where people can share what they've made, and be inspired by what others have done (and then hack it).

Campaign goals

  • Begin to teach thousands of people to code
    • This campaign won't transform participants into experts overnight, but it should give them a taste of what's possible and provide a clear path to learning/making more
  • Grow interest in and awareness of Mozilla's webmaking initiatives and offerings
  • Show web makers that they're part of a much larger movement and story, and provide a pathway for them to engage over the long-term
  • Build a community of partners and community-based instructors that Mozilla can work with beyond this campaign

Get involved

This will become much more fleshed-out over time, but if you'd like to get make sure you hear more about the campaign, please sign up here -- anyone who wants to teach others to code is more than welcome to be a part of it:
