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 a range of topics, including electronics, fabrication, bike repair, e-Textiles, server programming and more.
Workshops are currently held every Wednesday, from 3-5pm at Greencoat (South London), and every other Wednesday from 4-6pm at High Holborn. The subject of each weeks' workshop is announced on Mondays, in the #technical-skills channel on Slack. Each workshop is walk-in (no registration required), and doesn't depend on coming to any of the other workshops (unless otherwise specified). 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.
