We should recruit someone to be a project lead for such a workshop.<br>

+1 to all the questions!<br>
<br>
I'd suggest that the workshop be run in parallel with FUDCON this January by the teachers, students, and parents from the schools the Sugar on a Stick pilots will be at. It would be a good learning/leadership/outreach opportunity for them, and directly relevant to helping them prepare for their own pilots (best way to learn is to teach, and all that).<br>
<br>
I've put together workshops/etc. in the past, and would be glad to mentor a core group of 1-3 people through the process for a parallel-to-FUDCON workshop, if there are people willing to step up who'd like to use this as an opportunity to learn workshop-runnin' - everything from getting space and advertising to running around during the event, making a schedule, etc. (Caroline, can you think of any from the pilot schools?) No obligation to take me up on this offer, btw; it's not hard to know more about running workshops than I do. But I thought I'd throw it out there in case someone was interested in doing this but didn't feel like they knew how.</blockquote>
<div><br>January seems ambitiously soon, but you are probably right. I wonder what the right first approach is. Maybe we advertise at our pilot schools and at HGSE and the other ed schools in the area. If we even got only 5-10 teacherish types it would be a success and that really shouldn't be hard. Ok Mel you've convinced me :)<br>
<br>How long a workshop? <br>What time and day would be best for our audience? <br>We should be able to grab space as part of the FUDCON and general conferences right?<br></div></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Caroline Meeks<br>
