About the School of Webcraft

http://p2pu.org/webcraft

• The School of Webcraft is a joint venture between Mozilla and Peer 2 Peer University (P2PU). Together we’re building a grassroots learning community focused on web development based on open standards.

• Our mission:

• The problem: Web developer training is expensive, out of reach, and out of touch with how the internet is evolving.

• The solution: Peer learning powered by mentors and learners like you. Self-organized study groups that leverage existing open learning materials, with a smart social layer over top.

• The goal: Make web developer training free, open and globally accessible. Offer skills and certification that build careers around the open web.

• See the draft School of Webcraft charter for more background: http://bit.ly/iivvub
