Problem: schools and communities rarely work on deeply interrelated projects that will benefit both the school and the people of the community.
Solution: mentoring students to engage members of their community to cooperatively develop platforms and applications using free software, such as the Drupal content management system. Inclusion of community members in early development will introduce people to the myriad of careers, disciplines, and skills necessary to build in self-sustainability, cooperatively.
Our workshop will focus on methods and ways to engage your community in building platforms and tools owned by the community members. Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop.
