This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
Hackasaurus is an open source toolkit that lets people see and play with the building blocks of the Web. Hackasaurus Jams help people explore and learn Web Literacy skills by taking apart and making things on the Web. These events help participants see the Web as a hand-made public asset for creativity.
In this challenge, you'll learn how to use the Hackasaurus tools, dabble with the basics of HTML and CSS, and meet new people. Then, you'll design and implement your own unique Hackasaurus Jam to share webmaking skills with others.
Planning and facilitating an event does not need to be a solo affair. Ask your friends and colleagues to help. Find volunteers by posting flyers in nearby places, like a local coffee shop, or in online communities. Someone out there will help you, but you need to reach out to them first.
Introduce your collaborators in the Task Discussion below. If you can, take a team photograph. Comment on your peers' posts.
Alternatively, you can post your work for this challenge on your blog and link to it in the Task Discussion.
This is our team, Mozilla Philippines, with Reps and volunteers from different schools and companies
The photo was taken during our last Summer Code Party in September 22 in the University of the Philippines. More photos in our albums in Flickr.
We will be collaborating with the county library. While we don't have a photograph yet, we do plan to take pictures during our event, and can post them later.
This is my "street team" for the event. We have a combination of staff and teens from Mouse. The teens at Mouse are exceptional youth who already have some mastery of the skills that we are going to be teaching at the event. We did a pre- training session to vet our volunteers and I gave them little certificates that I just made up to tell them they were on the planning and facillitation committee- just to make them feel special for taking on this role. Meredith, the staff person from Mouse is great because she is taking care of getting all the permission slips signed from her institution's perspective and acting as chief wrangler and tech supply (laptops, projectors, wifi etc.) coordinator.
