><li><b>2) "Games that teach." </b>Learning digital skills by making and remixing games. Baking in useful coding skills as gamers make, remix and play. </li | |||
><li><b>3) Invite the world to make their own games.</b> Remix, make and share your own amazing games on the web.</li | |||
><li><b>4) The web as the platform.</b> The web as an open gaming platform for the world. Use games to push the limits of what web browsers can do.</li | |||
><li><b>5) Thought leadership. </b>Imagine a world where gaming consoles are no longer necessary -- it's all just the web. On mobile, tablets, or any screen you can imagine.<br/><br | |||

1)Re-imagine <strong>the Web as the (gaming) platform</strong>; and create the tools for games that like the web itself are hackable by design. <br> | |||
2)Move from <strong>consumption to creation</strong>. Mozilla is asking you not only to play games but to start hacking them to make your own;<br> | |||
3)<strong>Foster diversity</strong> in games for different audiences; that represent who players are and what they like.<br> | |||
4)Use games to <strong>teach digital literacy and webmaking</strong>. Bake in coding skills as gamers make, remix and play.<br> | |||
5)<strong>Invite the world to make their own amazing games on the web; </strong> | |||
**At the <strong>Mozilla Festival's Game Arcade</strong>; to play with new bleeding edge game technologies and meet people who love making and hacking games as much as you do. | |||
**At Mozilla's Game On </strong>; a competition calling all developers, designers, youth and educators to build the next generation of web based games. Submissions open December 3rd 2012 and close February 20th. 2013. <link http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/gameon/ > | |||

<ul><strong>QUOTES </strong><br> | |||
With Game On and Hackable Games we are hoping to both explore what gaming looks like on the web but also tie into many other projects that we are doing here at Mozilla; from FirefoxOS to Webmaker, we are asking you to re-imagine the Web as the platform;<br> | |||
<li> to make; we are empowering people to move from consumption to creation. In specific not only play games but start making their own; Games that represent who players are and what they like. | |||
<li> to learn; use games to teach digital literacy and web making skills such as programming, design thinking and empathy. | |||
<li> to share; we are inviting the world to remix, make and share amazing games on the web. | |||
