\nMozilla<\/a>, the Ontario Trillium Foundation<\/a> and Hive Toronto<\/a> are proud to announce funding for Collaborative Community Projects: new initiatives aimed at making Toronto a more innovative, connected and digitally literate city.
\n$77,000 total is being divided amongst four community-based projects that will provide new connected learning<\/a> and web literacy<\/a> programs for youth across the GTA while building partnerships across youth-serving organizations.
\nCollaborative Community Projects are investments in joint-Hive Toronto member<\/a> initiatives that help youth become self-directed creators and makers in both formal and informal learning environments. Building upon the success of Hive Toronto\u2019s 2013 Collaborative Community Projects<\/a>, the 2014 projects have evolved to include both new Hive members and community partners.<\/p>\n

The following projects have received funding:<\/h3>\n

MakerSchools<\/strong><\/h4>\n

MakerKids, Kids Learning Code, and the Toronto Public Library (TPL) are collaborating to create activities, trainings, and resources to integrate connected learning into schools \u2013 learning that is production-centred, interest-powered, and peer-supported.

An Alien Has Landed<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A spaceship lands at Pauline Public School and it\u2019s up to the students to use digital tools and social media to get the story out there before it\u2019s too late. Students will document and share the clues about the alien\u2019s identity and the story behind the mysterious crash landing. Using social media and web-based community tools, the students will pass the information along to another school that has just found clues too, and can now add their thoughts to the first school\u2019s report.
