Movable Game Jam + Appmaker
- At Mozfest, we involved a series of activities and discussions around Movable Game Jams - a collaborative movement started in NY and slowly spreading like wildfire - to explore "Ideas in planning" and "Cache of game design platforms" (AppMaker) on the game jam guide. Yes? Yes!

Hive Pledge
- Nearly 100 Hive members and Hive-curious guests joined the MozFest 2014 Global Hive Meetup where they participated and in a 3-part Action Incubator series to 1) identify challenges and opportunities in their communities, 2) source solutions through a "Firestarter" rapid prototyping exercise, and 3) get a 360-degree view with feedback and a commitment pledge to keep the conversation (and work) going. That's the very spirit of Hive.

Digital Divide
- How do we have access to connected learning? This project explored building an unbreakable internet, realizing areas where we can do without needing the internet, taking help from government or other community organizations for connectivity and accessibility of the internet, and having offline versions of cool online teaching tools - Cool teaching tools like webmaker tools should also have offline versions available.

Hive Partnerships
- We are Hive initiators, we want to make Hives so that Hivers are catalysts for organizations to collaborate. Hives build interdisciplinary and intergenerational learning and opportunities in communites that exchange and share knowledge. We want to create experiences where people learn and teach each other, investigate issues and create solutions, and provide resources and support to successfully reach shared and unique goals. In short, "Let's change the world one Hive at a time"

Hive Parents
- Mozilla supports community members to become heroes of the Web — the parents, leaders and mentors who are best-positioned to mobilize their communities and engage those who are not represented at events such as MozFest. Here is an idea of how we can make this even better!

Redesign Your Cultural Heritage
- This project helps learners make or learn [_x_] by ..."connecting digital cultural heritage to communities of designers and artists who wish to use open cultural content -- data, pictures, sound, videos -- as inspiration and sources for new derivative works, such as animations and films, media art and installations, textile patterns, and other design artefacts.

ART EXHIBIT: "When we awoke to our folly, it was too late"
- This project helps learners make or learn by providing context for understanding complex issues around the private ownership of web services. This exhibit has been an interactive digital scavenger hunt for participants -- one set in a world where all communication on the Internet is controlled by private companies.

BLOCKTYPE: Designing A Font with Minecraft
- This project helps learners make or learn [_x_] by providing an unusual interface for learning, drawing and editing fonts in a participatory way: Minecraft! Type design tools have been historically specialized and complicated, and usually restricted to learned practitioners. With Blocktype, we proposed a new experimental viewpoint over the font design process. We try to flip the solemnity and seriousness of type design by using this retro font editor.
