Hackasaurus is an open source toolkit that helps students see and begin to play with the building blocks of the web.

The XRay goggles make it easy to mash up and change any web page like magic. You can also create your own webpages to share with your friends, all within your browser.

Start Challenge View Tasks

Remix the HTML

Take the Xray Goggles for a spin.

Go to any website and with your goggles on, hover over parts of the webpage that you would like to change. Click R to remix an element. Now look for a <p> and <img> elements, and remix the content to include information about your dinosaur. Get creative!

Share your Hack. Once you've changed something on a website, you've "hacked" the content. "Hacking" is just taking something that already exists, and changing it for your purposes. Hit P and copy and paste the url of your hack into the Task Discussion. You might want to post a screenshot too. Comment on 2 of your peers remixes.

Don't forget to apply for the HTML Decoder badge!
