\nThis past Saturday and Sunday, people around the world threw a giant party<\/a> unlike any other<\/strong>. Grandpas in Tokyo came. Kids and parents in San Francisco came. People in Romania did it for 48 hours straight.<\/p>\n

Welcome to #MozParty<\/h3>\n

In Toronto<\/strong>, they made digital animations and robot invasion videos. In Nigeria<\/strong>, novice webmakers created their first-ever web pages. Santiago<\/strong> created tools for citizen journalists, Bucharest<\/strong> made mobile apps, and Dublin<\/strong> used Popcorn to annotate their favorite skateboard videos. In Pune<\/strong>, India, they made web pages about environmentalism, and in Guadalajara <\/strong>they built a website for a school.<\/p>\n

“Tomorrow, us and the rest of the world will learn how to code at #mozparty” –@JeanAustinR<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These great photos and projects<\/a> tell the story<\/strong>. Diverse backgrounds, skill sets, ages and themes, all coming together with one goal: to rock the world’s first-ever Summer Code Party<\/a><\/strong>. And they’re just getting started.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More than 1,000 people attended 125 events world-wide<\/h3>\n

And that’s just the opening weekend.<\/strong> More than 400 other events<\/a><\/strong> are already planned for the rest of the summer, from London to Barcelona to Dar Es Salaam and Kampala. All culminating in a big final wrap-up on September 23, showcasing all the amazing stuff we made and learned together.<\/p>\n

“I don’t need to teach the kids, they’re happy to teach each other” –@jbuckca<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With your help, this will be the summer the world learns the web<\/strong>. Or, as Mark Surman<\/a> put it, the summer where we plant the seeds together to make that possible.<\/p>\n
