Hey Webmakers,

We've had quite a number of parties this week! Enjoy the updates and be sure to share events, articles, makes and more with us for future updates.

MAKER PARTY EVENTS

The Mozilla Nigeria Community took part in the fun by planning a Maker Party in Bonny Island, Nigeria. The theme of the event was “Creating web solutions to real life problems” through Thimble. Check out this cool make on the causes of road accidents. Check out this blog post recapping the event and for more makes.

Last week the Hive Chicago team was planning for STEAM Studio which is a pop-up maker space in the Chicago Cultural Center, July 22-26, 2013, where high school teens used digital and physical tools to design and produce media and wearable fashions inspired by Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. Check out this blog post on the event that also describes why Chicago Summer of Learning is important for Chicago youth. Also watch this video to see how they made some awesome 3d jewelery.

Hack and Chat Maker Party happened this week in Dundee at the Dundee Contemporary Arts (DCA) centre. The event brought together artists, biologists and computer scientist to congregate, share their experiences and make things together as described in this post.

This week in Warangal, India the Maker Party with KIDS event helps children learn about the history of Fort Warangal and make a #makerparty Popcorn video on it. Makes coming soon!

The Summer Quest Maker Party is happened yesterday at the Bronx Library Center with 300 middle school students who were enrolled in NYC Summer Quest, a five-week summer learning program. The event features projects ranging from stop-motion animation and HTML/CSS programming to digital beat-making and building paper circuits. It looked like a fun party.

COOL MAKES

#RemixUnesco videos are still hot! Check out Osman's remix on health and hygiene here.
