Field notes
The homepage combines a public event program with a separate team-building workflow. Maya Makers proposes 11 challenge areas, from audio dictionaries and health phrases to Maya keyboards, spoken toponym maps, computer-vision glyphs, and interpreter bridges. Teams are described as working online with both a technical mentor and a Maya-speaking mentor, then submitting through a private portal. Final timings, speaker details, and some forms remain unfinished on the page.
