    • What is this?
      • More   than 100 organizations across the city of Chicago have joined forces  to  integrate learning into summer activities for youth of all ages in   every Chicago neighborhood with the idea of continuing learning   throughout the summer and connecting it back into the classroom in the   fall. 
    • How does this relate back to us? 
      • Open   Badges is the badge partner for the city of Chicago. We'll be helping   orgs design and implement their badge systems and develop a website to   encourage discovery of learning programs for students and parents. 
    • Mayor Emmanual will be making an announcement RIGHT NOW! <a href="http://www.livestream.com/chicagomayorsoffice">http://www.livestream.com/chicagomayorsoffice</a>

<a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/users/widea">http://scratch.mit.edu/users/widea</a> there is a wedding game for my uncle, a scrolling test, a first game and a star wars game (not done), and an anti bullying game witch is very hard.
Sincerely, 
Liam"

Parson School of Design Course: Designing Webmaker Futures (Hsing Wei) (5 Minutes) 

  • Links and context: 
  • NOTES & COMMENTS



  • QUESTIONS 



  • How to Get Involved
    • The students had these questions, can we provide crowdsourced responses:

      • "Why  did we immediately accept Mozilla's stance that everyone should be a  webmaker when the question of if they should or should not is still not  answered?"
      • "The mission of a web literate world is easy to understand, the goal of focusing on turning everyone into a webmaker is less clear.  If make-to learn is about learning to code, what are some of the arguments as to why that's important?" 
      • "To  achieve the goal of everyone as webmaker, does mozilla need to help all  types and capacities? only beginners or shy people, or people who might  not consider themselves makers? or also eager maker?"
      • "Why  is the remix so central to everything about Webmaker? Have they  considered that some people may not easily find their way into webmaking  by tinkering as a first step?"
      • "Is  the remix the right approach? A remix could prove too limiting to those  who come to Webmaker with the drive to create something of their own." 
      • "As  the web is right now more an exploring platform than a creating one, if  everybody start creating their own things on the web can make more  difficult for the others the exploring part of the web?"

ITEM

  • Hi everyone! I want to start teaching a Webmakers class in San Francisco Bay Area and the Silicon Valley this April. I'd like to teach Webmakers to students from Year Up, which is an IT business/trade school, alumni, as well as community members. If anyone has any ideas/feedback, they'd be gratefully appreciated. I've started a google doc for anyone who is interested in taking a glance with some more details. Anyone curious? Contact me, I need your help: achavez@mozilla.com IRC: ashlee in #dcops

Ever wanted to write REALLY good bugs?
