* Offer backup for the workshop. Big problem with workshops - especially ones where you bring your own project - is that you sometimes fail to complete it in the time available. The hackspace can offer a USP of continuing support to allow completion (suggest a month's access to the space outside of weekly meetings) . This also acts as a taster session and may result in full membership.--[[User:Artag|Artag]] 07:33, 22 July 2010 (UTC) | * Offer backup for the workshop.

What shall we do?
- Build an arduino from scratch? - not a bad idea but could be tricky and perhaps require more knowledge, time and bits
- I agree, possibly not for a beginners class, but would be a great addition to an intermediate/advanced class --Solexious 18:42, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
