2016 Mozilla Open Web Fellows and Fellows for Science at onboarding in Toronto
  • Call for Open Science Fellows - The Mozilla Fellowship for Science is an opportunity to spend 10 months working with an institution (university or other academic affiliation) building open science projects that leverage the web. If you’re interested in open science, open access, open data or open source, and you’d like to make the world a better place through research and collaboration, please apply by May 14th.

  • Call for Open Web Fellows – Applications for Ford Foundation and Mozilla’s third-annual Open Web Fellows program are due May 21st. This program empowers the next generation of open Internet leaders and advocates by embedding them at leading NGOs around the world, where they can positively impact the health of the Internet and bring critical strategic expertise to the organization.

  • Privacy & Security Toolkit – This is a toolkit for educators and activists teaching strong online safety habits in their communities. It points toward resources curated for instructors, their organizations and their learners, to help people understand the privacy choices they face everyday.

  • Fake News and Filter Bubbles: Teaching Web Literacy Concepts at Brooklyn Public Library. The blog post, by Davis Erin Anderson from Metropolitan New York Library Council, features a lesson plan and lessons learned from facilitating activities that help participants identify and make sense of biases in algorithms, filter bubbles, and fake news.
