Don't worry, you're not alone! Here are some pointers to keep in mind, and places to go for help. == Event Formats == There are three event formats that we've already prepared for you, along with guides and related resource packed full of tips and tricks for success. These are: * Kitchen Party * Hack Jam * Hive Pop-Up Here we'll briefly describe each format, and some considerations, however full details can be found over at [https://webmaker.org/guides webmaker.org/guides]. === Kitchen Party === '''Event guide:''' [https://webmaker.makes.org/thimble/how-to-host-a-kitchen-party webmaker.makes.org/thimble/how-to-host-a-kitchen-party] A Kitchen Party is a fun way to: * Spend an hour on a rainy day * Hang out as a family on the computer * Learn to hack with a friend * Make cool things on the web Even better is that the kitchen party needs no preperation. Just get a small group of family and friends together at home, in your local coffee shop, or even the library, and help them make something on the web. === Hack Jam === '''Event guide:''' [https://webmaker.makes.org/thimble/host-a-hackjam webmaker.makes.org/thimble/host-a-hackjam] A Hack Jam is a great way to: * Team up people with different skill-sets to explore an interesting challenge * Collaboratively build something new or improve something that already exists * Learn and teach new hacking skills These events usually cater for about 10 - 50 participants, and last an afternoon. Good locations for hack jams include schools, librarys and town halls. Due to the need to secure a venue for these events you typically need about 2 weeks to organize. === Hive Pop-Up === '''Event guide:''' [https://webmaker.makes.org/thimble/host-a-hive-popup webmaker.makes.org/thimble/host-a-hive-popup] A Hive Pop-Up is fantastic way to: * Bring together local organizations in a science fair setting * Demonstrate cool web ideas * Provide fun hands-on activities * Introduce your community to hacking You should start planning a Hive Pop-Up at least 4 weeks before your event. You'll need a comfortable venue with pleanty of space such as a community center, or school, and the sky is the limit! Try working with between 2 - 10 organizations, and don't be afraid to ask them questions about running events. In some places there are even groups dedicated to running these kinds of event... so do a quick search to find out if there is one in your local area. Some existing groups include: * [http://explorecreateshare.org/ Hive NYC] * [http://hivechicago.org/ Hive Chicago] * [http://hivepgh.sproutfund.org/ Hive Pittsburg] * [http://hiveberlin.org/ Hive Berlin] == Useful Resources == * Event kits on [https://webmaker.org/teach webmaker.org/teach] * Event guides at [https://webmaker.org/guides webmaker.org/guides] {note}To be added: * More resources {/note} == Getting Help == * [https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/webmaker Join the mailing list] to connect with others who've run events already. * Ask us questions directly via [mailto:makerparty@mozilla.org makerparty@mozilla.org] * [http://mzl.la/mentor_Gplus_community Join our global conversation forum] and take part in discussions, find useful resources, and see what other people are making and learning. {note}To be added: * Tips and other places {/note} [[T:ShareArticle|link=http://mzl.la/1gbqclI]]
