He also discussed the difference between creating apps with code and w/o code.  After that it was time for us to make a tutorial for the people who have not attended the online teaching session, so I(kushagra) took the responsibility for making the online video tutorial. I told them about the Webmaker mobile app with the live demos how to create and how to publish and share your make with everyone.

My Experiences as a Firefox Student Ambassador

Hey Friends,

   I am Kushagra Varade, a mozillian and a “Firefox Student Ambassador”. I got to know about this program a months ago and got registered for it. The society provides the best platform to enhance our working skills and also how to work in a team. Later i joined the programs to understand the program better.

I have attended MozCoffee Bhopal and MozConnect and interacted with the FSA of other cities. Attended FoxWave as a speaker and delivered them about FSA prog and FSA club.

the journey just started with a photograph on Facebook. I saw my friends there holding a banner of mozilla and being a computer science engg i do want to work with such a platform. I just had a talk to Prathemesh Chavan he guided me and asked me to contact to Chandan Kumar Baba who is mozillian rep and is also from the same city where i live. He told me what is mozilla what we do how to connect and then after how to contribute to it. It seems a great opportunity for me to develop my skills and sharpen the skills which i have with me. I also decided to run a club at my institute so that more geeks like me interact with me and we all can contribute to mozilla and promote the open web and our mission(Mozilla Mission).
