'''The Hacktivity Kits make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to organize their own webmaking session.'''
Building off pilot events run by the [http://www.explorecreateshare.org Hive Learning Network] in New York and Chicago and content created for various [http://www.webmaker.org Webmaker] events around the world, these kits are full of information and resources to help you facilitate sessions or classes that have a focus on webmaking.

'''The kits are organized around learning by making.'''
You’ll be collaborating and making things for the web using the [http://webmaker.org/tools Mozilla Webmaker tools]. Each section explains things you’ll want to consider as you prepare for your webmaking activities.

'''We’ve included everything from activities to assessing the participants‘ progress.'''
We have also provided sample lessons, projects and activities. And to help make your event as “plug and play” as possible, we’ve included a Resources section with documents you can print out, whether that be sample badges to give your participants or a cheat sheet for HTML.

'''Hack the Hacktivity Kits!'''
The kits are meant to serve as a jumping off point for you. We hope that you will ignore pieces that you don’t feel apply and expand areas where you feel your learners need more guidance. In short, we hope that you will take the kits, hack them, run events and then let us know how we can improve the base resources.

'''Technology'''
The most important thing to remember in terms of technology is that everything we create is for the web. Not only do we plan to publish on the web, but many of the tools we use, exist as web applications rather than installed programs on our computer. Because of this, it is critical that you run this program on up-to-date web browsers. Our resources are designed to support the latest versions of either [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html Mozilla Firefox] or [https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ Google Chrome].

'''You might run into bugs, and you can help us squash them!'''
Let us know what problems you run into, what your experience is. With feedback from you, we will be able to make our content and tools even better. The insight and imagination that you bring will pave the way for even more webmakers to use the web in fascinating ways.

==Hacktivity Kits==
''Hacktivity Kits are compilations of one page resources, hacktivities, readings, discussion guides and more. Following a kit will allow you to fill a half day at any webmaking event. Feel free to mix and match or exchange other hacktivities for the ones in the kits. See the [[Webmaker/Teach/WebmakingResources/HacktivityKits#Hacktivities | Hacktivities]] section for other Hacktivities and ideas.''
