| From now to September 15, people around the world will meet up at great events, make cool stuff and share it all online. <b>Let's work together</b> Our community and network of partners are crucial to growing this movement. There's no way any one person or organization can do this alone!

| |
| | |
| <blockquote>“<b>The web gives us all the chance to be creators, makers and inventors</b>. Maker Party is about joining thousands of people across the globe to make something amazing, teach each other new skills, and have a great time doing it.”
| |
| <em>– Mark Surman, Mozilla’s Executive Director</em></blockquote><br>

| ===What is Maker Party?===
| |
| <b>A big tent with more than 40 partner organizations all running making-and-learning activities across the globe</b>. Like Mozilla, these organizations are part of a growing movement to teach the web and promote the maker spirit with hands-on learning.

| =Connect with our content, make your own, and get featured!=
| |
| * Create your own Maker Party projects and content.<i>(coming soon)</i>
| |
| * Create and share teaching guides, resources and party favors. <i>(coming soon)</i>
| |
| * Report back on your Maker Party events. <i>(coming soon)</i>
| |
| * Submit Makes/Projects to Webmaker.org and get them featured. See below for details.
| |
| <br/>
| |
| ==How to get your Makes featured==
| |
| | |
| To give the best Maker Party outputs the attention they deserve, whether these Makes are created on Popcorn, Thimble or XRay Goggles, our [http://bit.ly/19kGPo8 Content Team] will crawl through the Maker Party world each day to find the next best thing — so if you or one of your constituents have something you'd like us to share with a wide and diverse set of audiences, get our attention on Twitter using the [https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23makerparty #makerparty].
| |
| | |
| Another tip for getting content featured on the homepage is to give it some relevant tags so others can better find it.
| |
| * In Popcorn Maker, go to the 'Project' tab after saving your project and notice the field at the bottom that asks for tags. Separate them with a comma (no spaces) with things that help identify your project, i.e. cats,texas,cowboy,hilarious
| |
| | |
| * On Thimble, you can add a special meta tag between the <head> </head> section of your webpage that adds them to the webmaker.org search engine. Make sure you have one line for each tag. It should look something like this:
| |
| ** <meta content="cats" name="webmaker:tags">
| |
| ** <meta content="texas" name="webmaker:tags">
| |
| ** <meta content="cowboy" name="webmaker:tags">
| |
| ** <meta content="hilarious" name="webmaker:tags">
| |
| <br />
| |
| Also keep in mind that the team is especially keen on featuring Makes which are "irresistibly remixable" to others using the site.
| |
| | |
| Need a bit of mentoring, need help starting to build a Make? The [http://bit.ly/19kGPo8 Content Team] will also be available throughout Maker Party for those who need a bit of creative inspiration in the form of templates, example Makes, online tutorials and in-person Webmaker demo sessions.
