The Principal, The Vice-Principal, the Head Of The Department(B.C.A.), and the Head Of The Department(Physics) gave a inspiring speech which motivated the students.

The event started by me explaining about Mozilla mission and different ways to contribute to Mozilla. I took the WebMaker session and the Firefox OS App Development session. All the participants asked various types of interesting questions which helped me improve my knowledge and experience. The Indian students were excited about WebMaker and the foreign students were excited to learn App Development for Firefox OS.
Everyone were surprised to know how easy it was to develop apps for Firefox OS.

We then had the Hands-on session where every student worked on different project and surprisingly, even the faculty members joined this session!The sessions went on well and the participants made 20+ makes.

We concluded the event with a short speech by the Principal who thanked everyone and specially congratulated the mentors for their initiative.
P.S. The event gave the mentors a different experience as the environment in the college was extremely different.
At the end of the day We achieved-
*10+ FSA’s.
*80+ Web literates.
*Lots of Fun and Interactions.
