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 get her started and help out. | This next event is similar to the hackasaurus event only using popcorn maker.
