What are these "Webmaker Projects," anyway?
Learning by making, hacking and playing. Webmaker projects are designed to help you make something amazing on the web fast.
Using Mozilla Webmaker tools like Popcorn, Hackasaurus, and Webpage Maker, you can:
- remix any web site to make it your own,
- make your own pages, web videos and other great stuff in a matter of minutes,
- learn the basics of webmaking skills like HTML and CSS along the way.
We're preparing a set of these projects for the Mozilla Summer Code Party. The goal: teach the world the basics of coding and webmaking. Through bite-sized experiences that are easy, social and fun. We'll also invite contributors and partners to share their own webmaker projects as well, creating a ginormous summer cyclone of making, hacking and ninja-fication.
