Setup and Gather Materials
A little prep for running the event
-
Make every attempt humanly possible to define the space as interactive. Move chairs into a circle. Set up design centers or stations so people can easily move about within the space. Break up the space as much as possible.
-
Gather Materials You'll most likely need some computers for your event (though it does depend on your theme and learning objectives - you can have a event without hardware ;). For group sessions and other brainstorming collaboration, the following are strongly recommended:
- “Post-it” notes, in multiple colors and sizes
- Flip-chart pads, with “Post-it” sticky backing if the budget permits
- Colored markers and pens
- Easels with clips to hold up flip-charts
-
Masking tape
- Show and tell your peers what you gathered and how you set up your space. Pics or it didn't happen!
