Meet the Webmakers

  • 0:05 - 0:08
    My name is Heather, and I'm teaching the next generation of Webmakers.
  • 0:09 - 0:12
    Hi I'm Chris, and I'm educating the next generation of Webmakers.
  • 0:12 - 0:14
    My name is Zainab, I'm 15,
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    and I'm teaching the future generation of Webmakers.
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    It's like learning a new language.
  • 0:19 - 0:23
    It's so unfamiliar, yet it's something that we all use everyday.
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    Everyone should be learning a little bit of code as they are growing up.
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    At Mozilla I helped younger kids to learn how to use a web tool and Hackasaurus.
  • 0:30 - 0:35
    And I helped them learn how to remix the web, how to change the web, and make whatever they want.
  • 0:35 - 0:36
    Just make something,
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    like, create stuff that you're going to be proud of.
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    I think someone who sends a tweet,
  • 0:40 - 0:43
    or uploads their vacation photos to Flickr,
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    is on a beginning path towards Webmaking.
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    There are distinct, new literacies, and code,
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    understanding how digital things work,
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    how to interact with them,
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    is that sort of core literacy.
  • 0:53 - 0:56
    And if we can raise kids, to all be Webmakers,
  • 0:56 - 0:57
    to all have that sort of skill set,
  • 0:57 - 1:00
    the next generation is going to be able to do
  • 1:00 - 1:04
    really amazing things that right now, we cannot even imagine.
