== Hackasaurus Events  ==
===Create Event===
* Learn about event types --> Pick Type --> Fill in details --> Publish --> Recruit
**Agenda design can either happen at "Learn about event types" stage or after "Publish"


*Hackasaurus "Hack Jams" are one-day and weekend events that allow kids to test and help design Hackasaurus.
''Desired additional feature: duplicate past events & address all previous attendees of your events at once''
*They're run through the New Youth City Learning Network in collaboration with Mozilla.
*Hackasaurus jams are designed to be modular and self-organizing. So that any teen, parent or organization can organize their own.
*Event curriculum and an organizing kit are under development.


== Hackasaurus Tools  ==
===Submit existing Event===
* External event exists --> Provide us with url, event type, date/time, location, description, your email --> Event is published to our calendar


These tools are still evolving and have rough edges, but their basic functionality is available now. They're also actively being used at jams.
===Report Back (participant)===
* Receive email from Mozilla (or event host) --> Fill out feedback form & share on gallery --> Prompt to host/attend something else in future


=== X-Ray Goggles  ===
===Report back (organizer)===
* Receive email from Mozilla --> Fill out feedback form &  share on gallery --> Prompt to host/attend something else in future


"[http://hackasaurus.org/en-US/goggles/ X-Ray Goggles]" allow anyone to easily “see through the surface” of any Web page, and obtain an intuitive understanding of how pages are composed. They can be used anywhere on the Web one hangs out, and casual use of the tool enables one to gain a rudimentary grasp of HTML, CSS, and the Document Object Model.<br>
