Maker Party

  • 0:11 - 0:15
    Maker party is Mozilla's campaign
    to celebrate the web
  • 0:15 - 0:19
    and we do this by celebrating with all of those
    that are teaching and learning around the world
  • 0:19 - 0:23
    individuals, communities, organizations,
    and really celebrate web literacy
  • 0:23 - 0:25
    Maker Partys are really incredibly unique
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    because there's a place where
    who really want to learn about the web
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    how to make a video on the web
    how to make the web page
  • 0:31 - 0:34
    It gives them a place where they can
    come and do that in a hands-on way
  • 0:34 - 0:38
    It can be anything from
    a small offline task to learn HTML
  • 0:38 - 0:42
    or it can be learning about privacy
    and why your privacy matters
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    and privacy issues around the web
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    It's pretty much thats celebrate what we can do
  • 0:45 - 0:48
    how we can make stuff
    and how we can learn from each other
  • 0:48 - 0:49
    It can be look like anything
  • 0:49 - 0:52
    It can be two people in a kitchen
    or it can be a huge group
  • 0:52 - 0:55
    The Maker Party campaign is happening
    all over the world
  • 0:55 - 0:58
    We have over 400 cities everywhere
  • 0:58 - 1:01
    Tens of thousands of people
    hundreds of thousands of people
  • 1:01 - 1:04
    getting out there having fun
    teaching about the technology
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    that brings the Web to life
  • 1:06 - 1:08
    Bringing people together is fantastic
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    As a facilitator, I could see instant sharing
  • 1:10 - 1:14
    instant open, instant Maker Party
  • 1:16 - 1:18
    Maker Party is the place
    we can come that's like
  • 1:18 - 1:21
    get your fingers dirty with
    making a really cool web page
  • 1:21 - 1:23
    hacking something together
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    In the way, you then actually have
    something cool to take home
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    and do on your own time
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    I am excited it 'cause it gets to
    learn new things at a Maker Party
  • 1:31 - 1:34
    play movie, Mozilla Thimble...
  • 1:34 - 1:40
    I read a webpage and it had info
    in first that said dancing was cool
  • 1:43 - 1:47
    One of Mozilla's tools is called Webmaker
    and Webmaker is a toolset
  • 1:47 - 1:50
    that really allows people to learn HTML
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    build an app or see the code
    under your favorite website
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    You can go and learn
    whole variety of things
  • 1:55 - 1:58
    learn about development
    learn video on the web
  • 1:58 - 2:00
    learn robots an Arduino for the web
  • 2:01 - 2:02
    Technology is constantly changing
  • 2:02 - 2:05
    But there exists far more
    integrated community out there
  • 2:05 - 2:07
    if you just know how to tap into it
  • 2:07 - 2:12
    For me, this is really one of the most exciting things
    involved in any part of my life
  • 2:12 - 2:15
    because we add a spot
    where digital literacy
  • 2:15 - 2:18
    is as important as reading,
    writing, and math
  • 2:18 - 2:20
    And that's what Maker Party is
  • 2:20 - 2:21
    We are not waiting for schools to catch up
  • 2:21 - 2:23
    We are not waiting for governments to catch up
  • 2:23 - 2:26
    We're saying let's all allow
    and teach the web today
  • 2:26 - 2:30
    So really Maker Party is a chance to
    empower everybody with the full power of Web
  • 2:30 - 2:33
    and I can't imagine anything more exciting
  • 2:36 - 2:37
    I'm making connections
  • 2:37 - 2:39
    I made a code
  • 2:39 - 2:40
    I made a dinosaur
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    I'm making new friends
  • 2:42 - 2:45
    - I made a robot dance
    - I made a robot dance, too
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    I'm making the future
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    I'm making my path
