* '''Webmaker Mentors''' may be part of Hive Learning Networks, aspire to start one in their city, or just be individuals who care about making and learning. Hive members and mentors share experiences, increasing the breadth and depth of knowledge about learning. Mentors are encouraged to visit and participate in nearby Hives, to try out smaller test events in their city to see if Hives are viable there, or to continue their work individually with the feedback and support of these networks. | * '''Webmaker Mentors''' may be part of Hive Learning Networks, aspire to start one in their city, or just be individuals who care about making and learning.
