Hackasaurus Roadmap | |
| Owner: Atul Varma (Tools), Jessica Klein (Jams), Matt Thompson (Acting Product Manager) | Updated: 2011-07-15 | |
| Mozilla's Hackasaurus is an open source project building awesome web-maker tools, games and design jams for kids. Right now we're sprinting to launch beta in September 2011 -- building and testing it in the open with you. | ||
DRAFT 1.1 -- YOUR FEEDBACK NEEDED
Please provide your feedback on this roadmap here. Make version 1.2 stronger!
Please provide your feedback on this roadmap here. Make version 1.2 stronger!
Overview
Hackasaurus = Tools | Jams | Games | Web site | Badges
The Hackasaurus project has five key slices:
- Tools'. A set of tools for tinkering, remixing and making stuff on the web. Like a swiss army knife for young web-makers.Includes X-Ray Goggles, WebPadand Hackbook.'
- Jams. Design jams or mini-maker fairs for kids. Gathering in social spaces -- libraries, youth media centers, community centers -- using Hackasaurus tools in a fun social curriculum. Includes a "Jam-in-a-Box" kit that makes it easy for anyone to organize their own jam.
- Games. Using Hackasaurus tools in fun, game-like experiences at Hackasaurus.org. Self-guided missions, quests and magic tricks with basic HTML, CSS and Javascript.
- Web site. The online home of Hackasaurus. A place to easily access Hackasaurus tools, jams, games and badges. Includes social and community elements.
- Badges. Web badges and stickers. Like Boys and Girls Scouts merit badges for web-making. Social proof for your hacker skills as you advance and level up.
