The way we do things

Partnerships

No one wants to learn boring, stale content and we don’t want to teach that either! To keep things fresh, we partner and collaborate with like-minded communities and organisations to deliver new, tailored and relevant content every workshop.

Industry professionals

We bring the expertise to you. From the workshop leaders to the volunteers on the day, we’re all individually passionate about the creative side of technology and we love what we do.

Interesting content

We are in the business of content, so we labour over the details, the format and the logistics. A successful workshop in our eyes is one that caters to many learning styles and experience levels. And more than this, a successful workshop is one that is always trying, testing and evaluating to get better than the last workshop.

Open source

Existing in the in-between, we could not have learnt the things that we have without the hearts, minds and time of those that give willingly and openly to the open source community. In return, we don’t believe creativity taught or otherwise should be locked in. Our workshops proudly use open source hardware, software and programming languages to keep them accessible in the workshop and beyond.

Inclusive and friendly

We don’t do jargon or buzzwords and everyone is welcome. Our workshops are equal parts creative, equal parts technical with a good dose of sunshine and coffee. We don’t come with egos and we definitely don’t come with all the answers. For us, this is how we all learn together in a fun and safe environment.
