At this year’s Vancouver Mini Maker Faire<\/a> in additional to having an awesome Mozilla Webmaker booth, Emma<\/a>, Dethe<\/a> & I<\/a> decided to put together a Makers as Mentors workshop to encourage local makers to become mentors through Maker Parties!<\/p>\n

Amongst workshop participants we had Joseph Lopez, a reporter from the local paper Georgia Straight<\/a>, so Emma had an idea for the mini-challenge – we asked participants to hack the front page of the Straight using Webmaker tool X-Ray Goggles<\/a>. Joseph had a blast and he later wrote an article about Mozilla Webmakers<\/a>, which included a picture of me during the workshop demonstration. :p<\/p>\n

We also had many librarian friends joining us for the workshop including Tamarack<\/a>, who took a snapshot of Emma delivering the workshop.<\/p>\n
