This page is still mid- build so apologies for any spelling mistakes. The agenda and paragraphs will continued to be built out in the coming days

Day one

Big Idea Rotation

We opened the morning sessions with the big idea rotation led by 7 facilitators on the following topics. Outlined under these topics is a brief list of the outcomes.

What do we mean by Universal Web Literacy?

What do you find most fun about MozFest?

Led by Amira Dhalla

•Intro to Mozfest. Run a session or time dedicated to helping on-board those attending for the first time. •Integrate an arts component. Do some sort of local visual arts display. There is also a lot of interest in general for more arts integrations both from the inside and outside •Buddy or pairing system. •Maker prom on the Saturday night (instead of a Saturday night event or Maker Party during the day). There would be a middle dance floor where people dress up or get prom styled and all around the dance floor are maker stations to do/make fun things. This could also exist as the closing on the Sunday late afternoon.

We created a series of pathways through the festival weekend for these personas, thinking about the learning objective for each one. [insert picture of template]

Experience touch points

We examined the touch points of these created personas where they intersected with the festival. We mapped the intersectional points as Back of House versus Front of house.[insert picture]

Day Three

The Weird, the Wild, the Worth and the Wow

In small groups of 3 and 4, reflecting on our pre event interviews we examined what sessions could be created at this years festival and how it could be experienced by the personas we created the day before.
