Event Details


What's Hackasaurus?

Mozilla's Hackasaurus tools make it easy for kids to remix, create and share on the web. The X-Ray Goggles allow learners to see what the web is made of, remix and change their favorite web pages, and share their creations with friends.  Learn more at http://hackasaurus.org

What is a Hack Jam?

  • Local events or “hack jams” make webmaking and digital literacy easy, social and fun
  • Hack jams are based on the premise that the web is a collaborative, open, co-building environment
  • We’ll be using tools that help make it easy for youth to explore, remix and redesign the web
  • Understanding how to tinker with code is a skill that’s in demand and makes youth more employable
  • Taking part in a hack jam helps kids develop learning competencies, including critical thinking and interpersonal skills
  • Working as part of a group or managing a project are important soft skills that employers look for
  • All of the tools and curricular content are designed to be peer learning experiences that are constructed and evolved by community input and contribution
  • Youth will usually leave a hack jam event having made something - and this event will be no different!
Why do we need events like this in Victoria?

Technology is Victoria's #1 private industry, and so it's appropriate  that 'Tectoria' also be leading the way in empowering kids through technology.   Hackasaurus, and web making events help change kids from consumers of technology to Web Makers.

Who can participate?

We invite kids between the ages of 9 - 14 to join us.

What should I bring?

Bring enthusiasm! Bring creativity!   Laptops for all participants are provided. Because space is limited, please reserve your ticket in advance - it's free!
