== About this Campaign == | |||
This summer, Mozilla will be launching a learning & making campaign, 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. We're calling it the “kitchen table” campaign for short — the idea being of 3 kids and a parent around the kitchen table — but branding is not final. | |||
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 in June on a single day 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 | |||
