Technical Skills Workshops
The CCI technical team runs a program of technical skills workshops focused on developing essential skills for working in the CCI, and learning about tools, tips and techniques that might not be covered in your classes. These cover various practical topics, including electronics, fabrication, networking, server programming and more.
Workshops are currently every Wednesday, 2:30-4:30pm, with one workshop per week in South London (normally in Greencoat, sometimes Peckham Road 5th floor), and one every 2 weeks in High Holborn (map below). The subject of each weeks' workshop is announced on Mondays, in the #technical channel on Slack and on the noticeboard by the lifts in Peckham Road. Each workshop is walk-in (no registration required), and doesn't depend on coming to any of the other workshops. All students and staff are welcome. These workshops are now being recorded and are available on Panopto here.
If you would like to suggest a future workshop (or suggest someone you think should run one) you can do so using this form. The only way to acquire a sticker is to attend a workshop :)
If you have any further questions about these workshops, you can email Agnes on a.cameron@arts.ac.uk.
