This is a list of the proposed workshops and activities for the year 2013. We are trying to run workshops on the first and third Thursday of each month or for longer workshops, at the weekend.

We can help sort out the materials and logistics. This is YOUR hackspace. It relies upon YOU to get involved and make this work. If you have an idea for a workshop or are willing to run a workshop but are looking for advice, do post on the group or email the trustees_at_notttinghack.org!


These workshops are open to everyone, so please spread the word.
