Mozilla Webmaker for High School Students for 2013

With the advent of rapid development and progress of technology in every seconds, students in secondary education also have to cope up with these digital advancements. In school, high school students are taught basic computer operation such as word processor, spreadsheet, powerpoint and basic programming to give them a glimpse of the computer profession. Basic programming includes the famous HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language which is demonstrated and taught by computer subject teachers. Computer teachers aims to provide high school students with better understanding of the Web and how people develop and use it. 

In line with this, Mozilla Student Reps team of Bataan Peninsula State University headed by Cherlowe Reinard Ramirez, Student Reps Lead, will be collaborating with the School of the Madeleine in the province of Bataan. Through Mr. Bernard Dasco, Computer Teacher of the said school they will be organizing a seminar for the students in cooperation with Mozilla Philippines on February 2013. It aims to update students with the Open Source Technologies,  latest trends in the Web specifically the HTML5 and the Mozilla's Mission. 

One of the highlighted topic is the Mozilla Webmaker which is a new program to help people everywhere make, learn and play using the open building blocks 
of the web. Mozilla Webmaker wants to help you make something amazing with the web. We’ve got new tools for you to use, projects to help you get started, and a global community of creators — educators, filmmakers, journalists, developers, youth — all making and learning together. The goal: help millions of people move from using the web to making the web. As part of Mozilla’s non-profit mission, we want to help the world increase their understanding of the web, take greater control of their online lives, and create a more web literate planet.

"We need to teach the world to code. Not just future engineers and web developers (although this is essential). But also teachers, journalists, filmmakers, artists, scientists and curious kids. These are the people who make much of the web. They need to understand code."
