WordPress Jax Kids Meetup Building Digital Leaders
William Jackson, M.Ed. Aida Correa, Artist and Author
Youth, teens and young adults are involved in the growing
WordPress community as bloggers, content creators,
micro-bloggers, speakers and even developing organizers.
WPJaxKids is inviting students in Duval County Public
Schools, Charter Schools and even private schools to
encourage young people to have fun and enjoy STEAM
projects with William Jackson and Aida Correa. Both are
seasoned WordCamp speakers, volunteers and educators.
Youth are the growing future of digital industries, there is
no one country that has enough knowledge workers to
handle all the necessary jobs that are required.
The world is a knowledge run community not just manual
labor.
Youth, teens and young adults are beginning entrepreneurs
through technology exposure and mentoring. Many have
started their own online businesses and making profits from
being exposed to WordCamp / KidsCamp conferences.
Elisha Taylor III a high school junior in this blog with
Elizabeth and Esther middle school students, are seen
with the web sites they have designed from participating
in the WPJax Kids Meetup and attending KidsCamp
associated with WordCamp Jax conference, the next
WCJax conference March 2020 in Jacksonville, Florida
https://2020.jacksonville.wordcamp.org/
Youth, teens and young adults attending WC conferences
and KidsCamp are growing into potential WordCamp
and KidsCamp conference speakers, organizers as well
as learning skills that will aid in their career dreams.
WordCamp and KidsCamp conferences are developing
locally, nationally and internationally. The growth is
transformative because youth are learning real world
skills and networking with professionals.
WordCamp conferences are worth the small price for
2 to 3 days of conference exposure with web developers,
coders, programmers, digital innovators, artists and writers.
Changes are going on now that are preparing youth, teens
and young adults for their career aspirations in digital
businesses.
How important are digital skills, this can be seen in the
understanding that 40% of all web sites globally are created
with the WordPress “open source” digital platform. The skills
of coding, programming, PHP and other scripting languages
is invaluable to be proficient in the expanding digital influences
of Internet based careers even in digital security.
Opportunities like WPJaxKids help kids learn web development
on both sides of the development that are graphical and
development.
Elisha has stated that being involved in WPJaxKids Meetup,
WordCamp conferences and in KidsCamp is preparing him
for real world experiences in other tech opportunities and
increasing his opportunities for entering into higher education
and to be ahead of the academic and networking game.
