In the workshop, we will work through a demonstration build project, taking care to show you each step of the process so you feel confident to go home and build your own. As some of us are more handy than others, 10C staff will also help the group set up times for team-builds or tool sharing if desired at the time of the workshop. 10C is happy to support the connections to move this along, and provide use of our DIY space for follow up building sessions.
