All events are generally announced on the [http://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space list] and are put on our [http://london.hackspace.org.uk/events/ events calendar]. | ||
Most [[Workshops]] are free, some come at a small cost (especially those that supply equipment.) Workshops usually have limited attendance, so register early! | |||
If you want to run your own event have a look at our documentation for [[Guides/Planning_an_event | planning an event]], it's not hard. Anyone can organise a workshop, it can be a 30 minute 'lightning talk' on what you do for a living (thats how the [[Workshops/Biohack_workshop|biohacking subgroup]] started) or a much longer, full weekend teaching session (eg the [[Workshops/Arduino_for_beginners|Arduino workshops]]). | |||
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]]. | |||
