Get involved with Mozfest 2016

Mozfest is an event happening in London from 28-30th October. It’s a diverse, highly interactive event with something for everyone, including a science fair of inspiring ideas and projects, and participant led-sessions, including interactive sessions where participants can learn something new or share their knowledge; small group breakout discussions where bright minds debate the most pressing issues facing the Internet today; or design sprints dedicated to hands-on making, hacking and producing a ‘thing’.

You can find out more about Mozfest here: https://mozillafestival.org/ 

This video will also give you an idea of what happened at previous Mozfest events.  

We’ve submitted a proposal for a session focused on interactive/digital storytelling, and the organisers of the Mozfest Youth Zone are still looking for submissions, so we thought some of you might like to submit an idea too, including sessions run by young people and children.

So, do you know or have you a young person who is a topic expert in making stuff from Art to Technology and could they benefit from being invited to be part of MozFest? And how can Mozfest help you, to help them share their passion? There are some bursaries available to enable people to attend.

If you’re interested in submitting an idea, or want to talk an idea for a session through, you can contact Youth Zone organiser Dorine Flies via dorine.flies@mozilla.org.uk

Submissions close at the end of August.

    Small world isn't it? I have been organising the volunteers that run the Mozilla Festival for the last four years and I live in Weybridge.
    Submissions for sessions are now closed but we still need enthusiastic people to help out. You can find more information on our website here >> https://mozillafestival.org/volunteer

What happened at the Minecraft sessions at Redhill Library

What is a  Minecraft Party you are probably wondering?   Redhill Library  has run two very successful Minecraft Parties, one in the summer holidays and the latest in October half term. They both took place on Wednesday afternoons from 2.00 – 5.00. Ten computers were made available exclusively for children to play Minecraft on, some children had pre-booked, some came along on the day. On both sessions, 20 children came over the course of the afternoon, most were boys but there were some girls as well. Their ages were between 7 and 11. A Minecraft server was set up beforehand and if children had their own Minecraft PC account log in they were able to connect to the server. This meant they could build and create in the same world as other children who had also joined the server. In practice most of the children who came used the library Minecraft account log in and played in their own individual world.  Why were the children coming to the Minecraft Party? Several didn’t have access to

British Science Week..end!

I t might be Friday but there’s still plenty of time to celebrate British Science Week, with events and activities planned across the country this weekend. Guildford has a proud history as a hub of science and technology, with the world-class Research Park hosting some incredible pioneering companies.  These include the games company 22Cans  started by Peter Molyneux   - founder of Lionhead Studios, which went on to be bought by Microsoft and produce the popular Fable games. Surrey Satellite Technology , defence contractor  BAE systems , industrial gasses supplier BOC and mobile developer  Volantis  are other examples of the great mix of scientific minds that call Guildford home. Check out the official  British Science Week   events map  to see what’s on in your area, and use the hashtag #BSW17 to share the fun online!  Above: British Science Week events being held nearby
