Snapshot of Maker Party 2013
Maker Parties were held in 330 cities across the globe. Some places, like Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire, held their first ever party, while others like New York City threw more than 400 separate events!
Popcorn Maker projects proved to be the most popular tool, and more than 35,000 Popcorn videos were created. Thimble was a hit as well, and more than 15,000 webpages were created or remixed with the easy-to-use tool.
Maker Party received a lot of love from the media including a great video about Makers byTVO and a write-up in Dazed.

Throwing a Maker Party can be a little intimidating. Some people wonder if their coding skills are strong enough, while others worry about managing the details that help an event run smoothly. Even the pros can get a little nervous, as we learned on this week’scommunity call when Webmaker’s very own Cassie McDaniel filled us in on a Maker Party she recently hosted in Toronto.
Maker Parties are a hit in Asia
More than 1,000 Maker Parties have taken place around the world over the last three months, illustrating a widespread interest in creating on the web. Nowhere is this more evident than Asia where this year’s Maker Party celebration marked the convergence of a rapidly growing desire for web skills with the rise of a dedicated community of web mentors.
