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.

This has been the premise behind much of what we have done with Mozilla Drumbeat: people who make stuff on the internet are better creators and better online citizens if they know at least a little bit about the web’s basic building blocks. Even if they only learn a little HTML, the web gets better.

Creating a web literate planet (proposal)

From Mozilla’s blog series on how they plan to support “web makers” and bring them into the Mozilla community. Their Hackasaurus and School of Webcraft projects are an inspiration!
