That maker spirit and open ethos is vital to Mozilla, our partners, and the web.” “It’s crucial that we give people the skills they need to understand, shape and actively participate in that world, instead of just passively consuming it. “ The web is becoming the world’s second language, and a vital 21st century skill - as important as reading, writing and arithmetic,” says Surman. Mozilla’s Executive Director, Mark Surman, says Webmaker is the product of Mozilla’s growing commitment to learning, and the culmination of experiments it began with the Mozilla Drumbeat project. What types of programs can participate? Summer camps, day camps, summer schools, public libraries, recreation centers, neighborhood groups, your kitchen table - anyone with a willingness to make, learn and engage using the open building blocks of the web. Plus special events with Boing Boing’s Cory Doctorow, OK GO’s Damian Kulash, and more. Amazing partners are joining the party, from Tumblr, Creative Commons and Code for America to SoundCloud, the San Francisco Public Library, the London Zoo, and dozens of others. We want to build a big tent for everyone who shares our goal of a more web literate planet. We’ll end with a big wrap-up September 23. With new Webmaker tools, event kits and starter projects designed to make it easy, social and fun. We’re inviting everyone to join or volunteer at free local events and teach-ins around the world.
