Current ideas for both teachers and children's day can be found here. Please request access if you need it.

I'm writing up a page for the website now.

Some questions:

What're we charging for tickets? Is £10/child too much? Last year they were £5/child but lots of people didn't turn up.
What age range are we going to be able to cater for?
How much of the Google document is confirmed?

MissPhilbin commented 8 years ago

I think £5 is a good amount, anymore and we risk alienating lower income families.
We should be able to cater for 8 to 18 year olds on the children's day. Groups to be accompanied by an adult at all times.
None of the children's day content is confirmed. Until we understand what equipment we have access to then we can not specify the max capacity of the workshops or even what content we can go ahead with. I'm awaiting a response from Pi-top etc.

OK!

Regarding pi-top, I know that @evildmp has been talking to Chantal there. Have you been involved in this conversation?

MissPhilbin commented 8 years ago

No I did not. RPF has good links with Jessie and they've helped us out at events before. @evildmp let me know if you rather we did not start another conversation with them.

From my perspective, the accessibility argument trumps everything; I'm happy with low, it looks like it'll cover what's necessary, and if not it won't be by much and that's something worth spending on.

(I do like the idea of charging more to discourage silent dropouts, but not at the cost of alienation)
