The rhythm we want to build: a recurring open tinkering night, small beginner classes, and a monthly repair or show-and-tell session.
Confirmed listings will include the instructor, location, start and end time, age guidance, prerequisites, available places, materials and price.
Offer a space or help hostYou don’t need a polished course. Bring a skill and a project people can finish. Tell us what you’d teach, what equipment it needs, how many people you could support and when you’re available.
Start with one instructor and a small group. Separate equipment orientation from project sessions; keep open tinkering time distinct from formal teaching. Youth sessions would have their own age guidance, supervision and guardian arrangements.
Fees, materials and instructor compensation would be set per session. The aim is accessible learning, with sponsored places where funding allows.
