This year, for the first time, WordCamp London is hosting a Kids Workshop. We’re inviting children from Whitchurch Primary School to join us, on Friday 13th April, to learn how to set up and manage personal site\u2014from publishing content to changing the way a site looks like.<\/p>\n
The Kids Workshop has previously been held at WordCamp Belgrade, Varna and Sofia with much success, and we\u2019re excited to be able to host this event at WordCamp London too!
\n<\/p>\n
The workshop\u2019s main goal is to enable each child to create a personal website and learn how to manage its content. All children work with volunteer experts who help them through the initial setup and guide them through creating different types of content which they need to think of themselves.<\/p>\n
The workshop will start with a short exercise in which each kid needs to create a list of the three things they really like and three activities they really enjoy. They write that down on a piece of paper and take turns introducing themselves to the others and reading their lists of favourite things.<\/p>\n
Each child is then taken through the steps of setting up a site on WordPress.com with a volunteer displaying the steps on a computer connected to a screen so each child can follow each step.<\/p>\n
At the end, we’ll do a \u201cshow and tell\u201d session where each child presents their website and has a couple of minutes to talk about it.<\/p>\n
