Prep
Days before
- email the list: introducing the Young Hackspace; pls be considerate of the kids and their safety; got any laser cutter work we can show to give the kids an idea of the possibilities? And: note that this is not an open invite event, we have limited attendance and are fully booked atm. Looks like there will be more such events soon!
