Learn how to plan and run a Hackasaurus hack jam.

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.

Engage people with your work

By now, people are starting to talk to you and are hopefully registering for your event. Do whatever is needed to maintain contact with people! Answer questions, and respond to tweets and blog posts. Here's a handy FAQ sheet for you to use.

Post one interaction you've had with the public to the Task Discussion. Comment on your peers' posts and tell them if you think they did a good job at fielding the question or comment that their community member threw at them.

Alternatively, you can post your work for this task on your blog and link to it in the Task Discussion.

Since I am the first poster - I can't really respond to peers here yet, so I am just going to post two tweets from our youth facilitators who are trying to start a conversation and get people excited by tweeting out definitions of hacking:
