Reflective Notes

Note: Please use * (space space * space) before each dot point.

What did you think was successful about the workshop?

people are keen to make.
people love the idea of a structured project they can adopt
people are inspired about the ideas in the well.

What did you learn from the workshop?

* there are common themes in the things - rainbows, undersea, unicorns, colour

these theme were present in 2018 - Why? riffed on this question with participants - discussed how these things belong to an “other space” thats different to their everyday life and exciting to think about.
i was keen to make sure i didnt waste early adopters time
but also explained we wouldn't make any big decisions until more people in the group. (*)
people want to be able to view well at home
people like the idea of being able to follow from home if life gets in the way, and to be able to communicate and work their own hours.
interested in working on stuff during open lab too.

*brief and watching video is a good idea, lots of quest and answer during

| Can you note any ideas for future implementation? | need a dedicated facilitator or move workshopy part of the session to before open lab (where we are delivering content or facilitating process- ongoing work can happen during Open Lab) hard to get photos (not alot to photograph - and difficult to do three things at once.

maybe making in a public space would attract passers by. especially during the weekend.
maybe the 2018 video and a call to action would drive new participants

Are there any actions arising from this workshop?

* Activate Teams

Activate public view or participant view of wiki

Can you share any memorable moments or quotes from participants?
