WEBVTT

00:00:05.017 --> 00:00:08.274
My name is Heather, and I'm teaching the next generation of Webmakers.

00:00:08.766 --> 00:00:11.809
Hi I'm Chris, and I'm educating the next generation of Webmakers.

00:00:12.117 --> 00:00:13.738
My name is Zainab, I'm 15,

00:00:13.738 --> 00:00:17.099
and I'm teaching the future generation of Webmakers.

00:00:17.099 --> 00:00:19.325
It's like learning a new language.

00:00:19.325 --> 00:00:23.061
It's so unfamiliar, yet it's something that we all use everyday.

00:00:23.061 --> 00:00:26.022
Everyone should be learning a little bit of code as they are growing up.

00:00:26.022 --> 00:00:30.363
At Mozilla I helped younger kids to learn how to use a web tool and Hackasaurus.

00:00:30.363 --> 00:00:35.216
And I helped them learn how to remix the web, how to change the web, and make whatever they want.

00:00:35.216 --> 00:00:36.389
Just make something,

00:00:36.389 --> 00:00:38.777
like, create stuff that you're going to be proud of.

00:00:38.777 --> 00:00:40.443
I think someone who sends a tweet,

00:00:40.443 --> 00:00:42.540
or uploads their vacation photos to Flickr,

00:00:42.617 --> 00:00:45.311
is on a beginning path towards Webmaking.

00:00:45.311 --> 00:00:47.789
There are distinct, new literacies, and code,

00:00:47.789 --> 00:00:50.188
understanding how digital things work,

00:00:50.188 --> 00:00:51.224
how to interact with them,

00:00:51.224 --> 00:00:53.057
is that sort of core literacy.

00:00:53.057 --> 00:00:55.665
And if we can raise kids, to all be Webmakers,

00:00:55.665 --> 00:00:57.317
to all have that sort of skill set,

00:00:57.317 --> 00:00:59.752
the next generation is going to be able to do

00:00:59.752 --> 00:01:04.251
really amazing things that right now, we cannot even imagine.
