What's next for Webmaker mentors?- Links and context:
- Webmaker Mentors in 2013
- <a href="http://explorecreateshare.org/2013/02/11/webmaker-mentors-in-2013/">http://explorecreateshare.org/2013/02/11/webmaker-mentors-in-2013/</a>
- Quick summary:
- The maker movement has become part of the mainstream.These are people with a DIY ethic and an affinity to sharing what they made and how they made it."
- There’s also another movement reaching critical mass: a learning movement. Teachers, educators, museum curators, after-school coaches. Mentors who cop a DIY attitude towards learning.
- These two groups, the makers and the mentors, are coming together.
- What does that mean for us? Mozilla is a community that practices learning by making. We’ve got an ethos of less yak, more hack, and of helping people hack on things they care about.
- We’re not doing this alone — it’s a huge, distributed collaboration across many organizations and individuals. A “big tent."
- What are we going to do? Use “big tent” models like the Hive Learning Networks and Summer Code Party to take this ethos to the next level.
- Megazord different teams into one powerhouse incubator for radical ideas about learning, webmaking and mentoring.

- NOTES & COMMENTS
- 2013 goals:
- Community. Grow a global community of mentors with a maker attitude
- On-ramps. Offer compelling on-ramps for mentors to participate in webmaking
- Merge. Merge Hive + Code Party to create a global mentor community w/ local roots
- Simplify. Make it easier to find local mentors, events, and learning resources online
- Resources. Create more + better mentor resources: step by step guides for teaching that are hackable
- Localization. Surface localization opportunities. Tools and starter content should all eventually be translatable for different communities.
