The first event in this theme is the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmakers/events/kitchen_table hackasaurus kitchen table] event scheduled for the summer 2012. Over the next month they are running a beta of this event and have made a call out for testers. I have volunteered. My plan is to work with my two sons (Lucas and Kai) for half a day or more hacking the web... One thing I have learned in teaching kids and parents technology and hacking is you can't prepare enough. Parents often have fear and lack confidence in their tech skills and the kids just want to run free and build, build, build... managing this takes solid scaffolding. | The first event in this theme is the [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Webmakers/events/kitchen_table hackasaurus kitchen table] event scheduled for the summer 2012.

This next event is similar to the hackasaurus event only using popcorn maker. Popcorn maker is an online video / film making "studio". The [https://mozlearning.etherpad.mozilla.org/PopcornKitchenTables popcorn maker kitchen table] has more technical complexity than the hackasaurus event, but I feel would fit very well for my daughter Ana Rose (16 years old). Ana Rose is an outstanding musician and composer for her age and she has been kicking around the idea of making a music video for a while... I figure this is an excellent way to help out. | This next event is similar to the hackasaurus event only using popcorn maker. Popcorn maker is an online video / film making "studio".
