This is a past event

A drop-in weekend event

Join us for an interactive weekend of idea generation, open data and coding. We will be exploring how we can create and use open data to better understand the past around us.

Free, register here.

What does the weekend look like?

We’ll open up on Saturday morning at 9am, then have breakfast and a briefing session at 9.30am. We’ll then break into groups, each with a distinct set of tasks.

During the day, each group will work on their projects and periodically report back to the room on progress.

We’ll have lunch then continue in the same fashion for the afternoon. We’ll have pizza and drinks for tea and those who want to work on into the evening.

On Sunday we’ll start at 10am with breakfast and a quick update. We’ll follow the same pattern as Saturday, with lunch. We’ll wind up with a grand show and tell session in the late afternoon.

What will we provide?

  • Food and beverages to keep you going during the event
  • Possible ideas to get you started
  • Sticky notes and pens to capture ideas
  • Facilitators to help you form teams and aid your work
