Everything kicks off June 15 and keeps rolling all summer long. The beauty of a worldwide Maker Party is that it includes hundreds of events and hack jams spread out over many weeks. This way, you can get creative wherever and whenever works for you.
Want to keep it low-key? Why not gather friends and family in your kitchen or living room and learn some new web skills together? Share your work online and you can participate in the global Maker Party without ever leaving your house!
With only two weeks left till the kickoff, it’s time for you to think about who you’re going to invite. Which of your friends would be fun to hack with? Got an aunt who’s handy with a laptop? That girl from your soccer team seems pretty creative. Send an invite and start making plans: http://webmaker.org/party
