Tents and Stuff


Workshop Planning

Need to cover the 3 hours of non-Nottinghack events as well. Rota will be required probably for that too.

Sam, James S Yes 2 hours 3PM on Saturday (3-5PM) Yes £40 10 kits for robots Laser cut bits and solder everything beforehand. Actual building should be an hour. Maybe £30-40 kit or something (yes, and/or just have some loaners that people can donate to drive for a bit, could take a while to make stuff). No wifi control Sam has an alternative method.

Jason A, Duncan Yes 2 Hours Morning 10-12 Saturday 10 People (paired people welcome) Yes (TBC)
  • Intermediate Arduino workshop
  • Interface with things
  • Libraries and importing and connecting things
  • Boards may be sold as part of the workshop

Is there a minimum number of seats we have to fill? Definitely want to limit the number of places. Practical workshops are pretty popular.

Think about what equipment we need, how long the session will be, how many would we need to attend, etc.

Non-Workshop Ideas

  • Snackspace / Tea Urn
  • Not-BarBot - if Jason wants to build one
  • Some kind of big artsy thing (MAYBE Ali)
  • Bottle Rockets :)
