This workshop's going to be amazing!! Here's what we need to do!
A few months out:
-
Find a venue and sponsor for the workshop.
- The workshop will consist of 3 separate parts -- a teacher training, an installfest (typically the Friday night before the workshop), and the Saturday workshop itself
- Space-wise, we usually split the students up into separate class levels, so having access to multiple workspaces would be nice (and if possible, projectors & whiteboards).
- Additionally, we like to offer students the option to bring their children with them (we recruit additional volunteers to help supervise so the parents can focus on coding).
- Sponsoring the workshop costs between $400 and $900, depending on the size of the workshop.
-
Find two co-organizers. It's a lot of work, but always a lot of fun. No experience is necessary; checkout the workshop cookbook if it's new to you. (Also, we match up first time organizers with mentors.)
