At each office individuals participated in <a href=\"https:\/\/secretrobotron.makes.org\/thimble\/OTA1NzA3NTIw\/make-music-with-appmaker\" target=\"_blank\">Appmaker sessions<\/a> where they saw demo&#8217;s of the newly launched Appmaker product, as well as a real-time tutorials on <a href=\"https:\/\/secretrobotron.makes.org\/thimble\/OTA1NzA3NTIw\/make-music-with-appmaker\">how to modify an app to create your own songs<\/a>. <em>You can watch the live-stream from the Appmaker session in Toronto below!<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"ace-line\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"magicdomid1752\" class=\"ace-line\"><span class=\"author-g-2lqh5qm7n5fo3bng\">Each space also received a custom designed 1000-piece Maker Party jigsaw puzzle which was a resounding success, and sparked fierce competition between the offices as each group battled to complete their puzzles in the shortest time possible. It&#8217;s great to remind the community that Maker Party events are meant to be hands-on, interactive, collaborative and learning about the web can even happen offline. Working together on a puzzle like below or solving <a href=\"https:\/\/gingercoons.makes.org\/thimble\/human-html-tag-puzzle\">HTML puzzles<\/a> are the stepping stones to understanding how the web works.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-11918\" src=\"http:\/\/webmakerblog.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/completepuzzle-600x629.jpg\" alt=\"completepuzzle\" width=\"600\" height=\"629\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"magicdomid823\" class=\"ace-line\">\n<span class=\"author-g-2lqh5qm7n5fo3bng\">Each office put their own spin on the events and made them their own to successfully show <\/span>Mozillians around the world how fun and rewarding it is to <a href=\"http:\/\/party.webmaker.org\/resources\" target=\"_blank\">throw a Maker Party<\/a>.
