<h1 style="border:0px;">Hacktivate Learning! </h1>
'''Interested in helping others make things on the web?'''
 
<b>You're in the right place. </b> We are so excited about what we've learned and experienced over the last 18 months of launching and building Mozilla Webmaker. We developed new webmaking tools (play with them [https://webmaker.org/en-US/tools/ here]) and shared our [http://commonspace.wordpress.com/2012/09/25/explaining-crisply/ thinking] throughout the process. We launched the 2012 Summer Code Party campaign and further engaged our Hive Learning Network to activate 600 educators across the globe to use, test, improve and teach others using our tools. Through this, it has become clear that what we need for Webmaker to continue to prosper is '''YOU!'''

We believe that people learn best with others and that mentoring is a powerful, distributed way to connect learners with educators.
 
That's why the Mentor Community team will spend 2013 developing ways to link webmakers and mentors. The team will surface exemplary work from the community while also producing events, campaigns, hacktivity kits, tools and stories that help build a generation of Webmakers. We want to:
 
* '''Lay the year's foundations with the team, key partners, and network'''
* '''Launch an international campaign rallying around the theme "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

'''Hacktivate Learning!''' This is our siren call to educators who are motivated by the concept of the "4th R," web literacy, an open ethos and the Webmaker mission. "Hack" with us and help get others "activated" to learn by making. Let's take inspiration from the Summer Code Party and make it happen 365 days a year in classrooms, coffee shops, museums, libraries and parks, in cities and towns around the globe.

== How will Hive Learning Networks and the mentor community work together? ==
* '''Hive Learning Networks''' are clusters of people and institutions in a city that care about connected learning. They organize events and joint projects, and they share experiences locally and globally. Members of Hives are part of the mentor community, although not all mentors will be formerly part of Hives. Hive partners believe that:
** School is not the sole provider in a community’s educational system
** Youth need to be both sophisticated consumers and active producers of digital media
** Learning should be driven by youth’s interests
** Digital media and technology are the glue and amplifier for connected learning experiences
** Out-of-school time spaces are fertile grounds for learning innovation
** Organizations must collaborate to thrive
* '''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.
