Teach Learn & Make. This undoubtedly describes the series of events that Mozilla Mombasa is about to roll out in the coming weeks in Partnership with Mozilla, we will be spearheading this series of events under Mozilla’s Global Campaign dubbed Maker Party 2014.
Maker Party is Mozilla’s global campaign to teach the web through thousands of community-run events around the world, it unites educators, organizations and enthusiastic web users with hands-on learning and making.
Mozilla Mombasa is holding not one, not two, but 5 series of events under this campaign and we would like to invite you all to these events, so mark these dates on your calendar as you get prepared to be indulged in a knowledge frenzy of activities. To start off here is a gist of the first two events that are proudly facilitated by the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & Technology Mombasa Campus, located at the heart of the coastal city of Mombasa in the stylish Mombasa Trade Centre (formerly Ambalal building) along Nkrumah road.
Let’s Meet, Make and Mash-up the Web
Being the first Webmaker Party in 2014 in Mombasa this will definitely set precedent for future Webmaker Parties. This event is targeted to University Students and Web Professionals who will come under one roof to learn, play, and remix the Webmaker tools. We shall also be introducing the concept of Digital/Web Literacy and its importance in today’s life. We will also get to brainstorm on ways in which these concepts can be applied in various sectors of the industry especially the Education Industry. Lastly, we will have a brainstorming session on Internet, Web & Security.
