Webinar to help you take the Webmaker Challenge

The Afterschool Alliance and Mozilla have partnered this year to bring you the Lights On Afterschool Webmaker Challenge, a simple, fun activity to help afterschool programs develop students’ webmaking and digital literacy skills. For the Challenge, students will design their own digital poster showcasing their favorite afterschool programs on Mozilla’s Webmaker platform.

Register for the Lights On Afterschool Webmaker Challenge webinar today! During the webinar, staff from the Afterschool Alliance and Mozilla will give you a quick run-through on how make the most of the Webmaker Challenge.

The Lights On Afterschool Webmaker Challenge is a great way to engage youth and the community while teaching kids valuable skills, giving afterschool educators and their youth a chance to unleash their creativity—and learn some coding—by making digital afterschool posters.

As an added bonus, six participating programs will be chosen at random to win $500!

Register for tomorrow’s Webmaker Challenge webinar and we’ll teach you all of the tips and tricks you need to make the most of this great opportunity!

Mozilla’s Webmaker creates open source products and programs in the belief that the Web is a shared public resource to be cared for. The Mozilla Foundation’s mission is to teach the world to be Web literate through proactive exploration of digital tools and hands-on making, teaching and learning.
