Drumbeat/Hackasaurus/jams

This page includes resources to help you organize, run and publicize your very own Hackasaurus design jam. We created this content to provide educators who want to teach classes, teens who want to start their own hacking club and community organizers who want to hack the world that they live in support in getting their programs started. Please feel free to use the content below. If you see something that you want to edit, please do so. We want to make this a useful toolkit, and that means we need people to tell us when we are doing something right AND letting us know where we can improve. Happy hacking.
