A few days before your workshop, you're going to want to prepare! Here's
some suggestions:
-
Familiarize yourself with what you're covering in the workshop!
We have
resources for
you and your club members.
Make sure you know the
requirements
for a Swirl website.
-
You may want to make slides (or use
ours!) and make a demo website. It can be helpful when explaining things to
participants.
-
Have all the necessary materials ready! This can include: laptops,
internet, GitHub access, chargers, and handouts
(like this website planner).
-
Apply to run a Swirl workshop on the
Clubs Platform!
This step is required to ship and get your ice cream!
A few tips for running your workshop:
-
Go at a pace that works for you and your club members!
You can always split the workshop into multiple sessions if needed.
-
Ask your club members if they have any questions and be there to help
them.
-
Have fun and learn! The workshop is meant to be a fun learning experience
for you and your club members, so make sure to enjoy it.
Remember: you're in control of how the workshop goes, so make it your
own!
Have members submit their projects!
If you've done Boba Drops, this is very similar! Make sure they're able to
submit with a GitHub repository and their website. Have them submit at
clubs.hackclub.com/workshops.
Once all of your members have submitted, let us know in
#swirl
to close your workshop and get your grant.
Your club will be awarded coins for each submission. You can redeem these
coins for a food grant (ice cream!!) or other prizes in the
club shop.
If you have any questions about running a Swirl workshop, feel free to ask
in the
#swirl
channel! You can also DM
@aj
or
@dhyan
on Slack.
