With the some idea with the Webmaker tools, the attendees deepened their understanding on what the Webmaker project is.

Students creating their makes

 

To give the attendees a hands-on experience of using the Webmaker tools after demonstration, we asked them to group themselves with their fellow students who were able to bring a laptop & an internet connection, and let them explore the Webmaker tools: (1) Thimble; (2) X-ray Goggles; (3) Popcorn Maker; and (4) Appmaker. As we roam around and guide them using the tools, we saw that they are enjoying the activity and most of them are interested in the Appmaker, tool.

But I can flex myself with different programming languages. Sometimes doing some Database administration on the side. When not at work, I am very passionate being a Mozilla Representative contributing to Webmaker & WoMoz. If not pre-occupied by MozPH & work duties, I like to pretty much stay at home and snuggle my pillows & bed.
