  Workshop Weekend

In partnership with Maker
Faire<http://makermedia.createsend2.com/t/r/l/jiohjl/pllhlvf/d/>,
Workshop
Weekend <http://makermedia.createsend2.com/t/r/l/jiohjl/pllhlvf/h/>is a
two-day learning event, on the weekend following Maker Faire, May 28 - 29,
organized by Learning U.

Maker Faire inspires people to make new things and learn new skills but
Maker Faire is not the place for an an in-depth workshop. Workshop Weekend
is a way for makers to follow up immediately on a new interest and begin to
develop it.

If you have an interest in teaching a workshop in your workspace or studio,
please consider offering a course as part of Workshop Weekend.  We also have
limited teaching space available in Oakland and SF, if you need it, where
you can hold workshops up to 4 hours in length.

So let us know what you want to teach and when you want to teach it, and
we'll handle everything else: student sign-up, payment processing, and
feedback after the event.

If you're interested in becoming part of Workshop Weekend, please send an
email or register online:

*email : teach at whatwillyoulearn.com *
*link:*  * whatwillyoulearn.com/teach *

We'll be promoting Workshop Weekend heavily at Maker Faire as well as online
before and after afterwards. * Please register by Tuesday, May 17.*
