Description
Luke (Year 11, Tawa College) developed an educational website teaching web design and coding with over 6MB of copyright-free, public domain, or Creative Commons content. A huge amount of work has gone into creating an incredibly valuable resource, with detailed attributions and permission for the curated content. One of our judges said they'd like to see this site hosted as a resource for Kiwi students and teachers. Nice work Luke! You win an Ipod Touch sponsored by Digital New Zealand
With Mix & Mash's focus on New Zealand images, data, words, video and music, school students can compete for prizes by remixing Kiwi digital content into beautiful new works. Our Free to Remix educators guide provides great advice on how to get started mix and mashing, including support finding openly licensed New Zealand content and data. We had a special prize pool to recognise the efforts of New Zealand students.
Luke's description of the entry:
This is a 33 page website based around web design & website creation and how it can be done, what colours can be used, what fonts look good, and even how coding works. This website has over 6MB of copyright-free, public domain, or creative commons content - and consists of nearly 7000 lines of hand typed code! Every page of the website validates against the W3C XHTML 1.0 STRICT standard perfectly, and it works in all common browsers and screen resolutions today. The jQuery animation scripts for this website were all hand written and tested personally, the content is also original, with only citations to other websites (listed in the Bibliography) section. Why is it awesome? Because I've spent weeks perfecting it to look absolutely perfect right down to the pixel level. :)
