Subject: [Wikimedia-SF] ISO Wikipedians to train staff of
SFPL's new
Teen Tech Center

Hello Bay Area fellow Wikipedians,
The San Francisco Public Library and the Mozilla's HIVE
Learning Networks
are launching a new Teen Tech Center in SF called The Mix.
The Hive Learning Network is a global community effort of
Youth Servicing
Organizations led by the Mozilla Foundation. The HLN
champions digital
skills and web literacy through connected learning. They
have a presence in
11 cities including Bangalore, Vancouver and Mombasa, and
growing fast with
10 new cities to launch by end of 2015.
This is a pilot program to help us/WMF evaluate if this is a
viable
mechanism for the movement to engage with youth and help
build future
community of Wikipedians.
The SFPL agreed to host a Wikipedia Station to help youth
navigate and use
our projects as well as potentially contribute to them. This
program will
be ran by the staff of The Mix - I am looking for someone(s)
to train their
staff on becoming a Wikipedian and a guide to the youth in
their program.
If you are interested, please feel free to ping me via
email, I can share
more details.
The Mix launches next Wednesday June 18th - ideally we would
like to have a
Young Wikipedian's in Training booth for back to school -
sept 2015.
Thank you!
Sylvia
