What is Mozilla Factory?
We all possess talent and potential!
Mozilla Factory seeks to foster creation, particularly amongst teenagers, based on the principle of openness. This platform encourages participants to discover their potential and improve their talents through a variety of experiences including thinking, creating, designing, making, and leading.
No matter who you are, everyone starts with a single step!
First of all, it is important to start with something fun and something you can do. Before long, you will find yourself naturally learning a variety of new skills and acquiring new expertise. Then it will be your turn to share what you have learned by teaching others.
Through this process, people soon notice how much they have grown. Together with us as mentors, we would like to bring about a future form of craftsmanship and creativity such that as an individual's ideas and expressions take shape, they are shared openly and spread throughout the Web where they continue to be shaped by the world, ultimately forming the foundation and inspiration for yet further innovations.
As the quote says, “Nothing great in the world has been accomplished without passion”, we grow and succeed by doing what we love and feel confident about. We hope that Mozilla Factory will be a place where the spark of creativity and passion in all of us bursts into flame and produces treasures of irreplaceable value.
Background
In order to advance the Internet, Mozilla works together with community and specialists drawn from many diverse fields to pursue openness and innovation.
Through this experience we have come to wonder, why can't this approach of building things based on open technology, open processes, and community involvement be applied to more than just Web browsers? Couldn't it be applied in almost any field? Furthermore, how can we share this open approach and our experience of building in the open with the next generation?
When several people sharing the same passion for open creativity gathered together the Mozilla Factory concept was born. We hope, through this movement, to raise up craftspeople who will produce innovative works according to the spirit of openness upon from which Mozilla was born.
