Every Wednesday night at the Calgary Microsoft Store I’m teaching a Hands on Gadgeteer Introduction and last night was the first one and despite cranking my back earlier in the day it was a raging success. Can hardly wait for next Wednesday to do it again as the classes are pretty much fully booked up for next two months (as long as we originally schedule them for so we will likely have to add more classes).
A number of customers who came into the store saw a little of what was going on and wanted to sign up as well, and a school approached us last night as they wanted this class taught to their students, so Gadgeteer is busting loose in Calgary!!
Might I also add a big thanks to the staff at the Microsoft Store as they have been really helpful in making this possible.
Looks great! We do a Gadgeteer workshop for potential applicants on our degree programmes. I’m sure what you do in this class is far more interesting than our workshop task Duke! Would you be happy to share what you do in these classes (slides/source code) so others can hopefully duplicate your success with Gadgeteer?
It would be great is GHI can create a Sub Forum/Board specific to presentations so people can share their presentations, where others can translate, update and use.
This will definitely speed things up in terms of awareness. what do you all think?
Forums here are a closed community with almost no external discoverability. I’d like to see stuff posted here, but at the same time:
Videos on YouTube. For many people these days, if it’s not on YouTube, it doesn’t exist.
Share with the Gadgeteer Facebook account. We’re ramping this back up and it has a bit more to go before we make a big announcement about it, but I’d love to see more great stuff there. Redirecting...
