Throwing an event? We’ll support you the entire way with free training and planning resources, ideas

Have fun with our tools
You can use anything you like to teach the web at your Maker Party event, from the wonderful array
of tools available online to good old pencils and paper. Mozilla Webmaker is proud to offer fun, easy-
to-use, free tools (https://webmaker.org/tools): see the inner working of a webpage with X-Ray
Goggles; learn HTML and CSS using Thimble; remix video, audio and images from the web with
Popcorn Maker, and build an personal mobile app with Appmaker.
8. Learn by teaching
The best way to learn the web is to teach it. Hosting a Maker Party is not only personally rewarding, it
contributes to the greater goal of increasing web literacy for everyone, everywhere in the world.

Why Mozilla throws an annual Maker Party
9. Mozilla (http://mozilla.org/) believes the web is a global public resource that’s integral to modern life:
it shapes how we learn, how we connect and how we communicate. But many of us don't understand
its basic mechanics or what it means to be a citizen of the web. That’s why we’re so passionate about
teaching web literacy through hands-on learning and making. Our goal is to help people move
beyond simply consuming the web to understanding and creating it, so it remains open, accessible
and ours.
Maker Party is also part of the the Summer to Make, Play and Connect
(http://www.makesummer.org/?ref=maker1), a celebration of a learning approach designed for our
times called Connected Learning (http://www.makesummer.org/why-connected-learning/).

See what people are saying about Maker Party
Technology can be an extraordinary tool for empowerment. That’s why the YWCA Toronto Girls’
Council leadership program hosted “Maker Parties” run by Mozilla’s Hive Toronto network. As
makers-in-training, they learned how to use Mozilla’s free suite of webmaking tools to create
their own websites and videos. They also learned the freedom and confidence that comes from
knowing how to not only enjoy content on the internet, but create it themselves.
