- Run own workshops and host others run by EMFCamp
- Minimum 3 hours per day of activities
- 1-2 other workshops run by others
Workshop Ideas
- Role playing (Andrew) / DND (Duncan) - Maybe earlier in the day or something in the evening.
- Basic electronics, soldering and GPIO (Andrew / Duncan).
- Morning cafe - Maybe Mike and Betty want to run this?
- Model painting
- Mini robot event - Is Sam going (yes) and does he want to do this (yes)? 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)
- Talks
- Solar LED lights? - Ali might be going, maybe interested.
- War Games? (Chris)
- Punched / Printed card Turing machine (Duncan and Jason)
- Betty crafty things
- Macrame (Ali)
- Tie-dyeing (Becky)
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 :)
