Workshops are organised by our members, they are announced on the [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space mailing list] and the [[Workshops]] page. Most workshops are free but for some (especially those that supply equipment) you will have to pay for them although members will receive a discount. It's also worth noting that some of these workshops will have limited places or other constraints so make sure you check.

Anyone can organise a workshop, it can be a 30 minute 'lightening talk' on what you do for a living (thats how the [[Workshops/Biohack_workshop|biohacking]] started) or a much longer, full weekend teaching session (eg the [[Workshops/Arduino_for_beginners|Arduino workshops]]).
If you want to run your own workshop or other events have a look at our documentation for [[Guides/Planning_an_event | planning an event]], it's not hard.

If you want to run a workshop announce it on the [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space list] and put it on the [[Workshops#Workshops_offered|page]] pick a date (check that nothing else is [http://london.hackspace.org.uk/events/ planned]) and go for it!
If you want to request a workshop: ask about it on the [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space list], and then put it on the [[Workshops#Workshops_Requested| request list]].
 
The process is similar if there's a workshop you would like to see: ask about it on the [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space list], and then put it on the [[Workshops#Workshops_Requested| request list]].
