Minimum Viable Workshop

What makes a workshop a Railsbridge Workshop?

• A commitment by the organizers, teachers, and students to increasing diversity in tech.
• An Installfest in which participants end up with a functional development environment on their machines.
• A Workshop day in which participants do hands-on work on some kind of curriculum.

The Bare Necessities

Here’s what you need for a minimum viable workshop:

• A space
• Teachers
• Participants
• Teacher Training (as late as during the Installfest)
• Installfest (Friday night)
• Workshop (Saturday day)

Any number of factors can decide the size of the workshop: the size of the space, the number of teachers available, or the number students interested. If you're striking out on your own, start small and get bigger.
