He also explained students about our 3 months hands on accelerator program throughout the globe to participate and make the web better and open place.

Session 5: FSA

 The beauty of the program is that it motivates both technical as well as non-technical contributors to come together and help build the Mozilla family strong. I took this opportunity to help understand the FSA programme its complete fall about how it goes and how we work on this. We also motivated the students to took part in large number so that we can find out best amongst the pool for this programm and the result was marvelous which helped us select near about 30 FSA from the campus.

We conducted the quiz and evaluated the answer sheets on our own . There after we selected top three scorers and awarded them with beautiful Swags. Here after we went for the interview round and finalised a bunch of awesome Student Ambassadors . 
The final call was to take cool pictures ao that we commemorate the memories and cheer it always.




Superb Swags were shared to all the participants so as to encourage their participation and help them tuned throughout the session.

                  
                             "When you put your heart and soul in an effort it brings you green results!!"
The day went well and the memories are worth remembering. 
 Thanks to all who are directly and indirectly involved in making our effort a huge success.
Thanks to Mozilla for the wonderful SWAGs and products which keeps on motivating people to work in front.
