 - '''Risk Assessment''' - We continued our discussion of risks that might be unique to a group of young makers. The kids are under the supervision of their parents/guardians and all must adhere to the general rules of the space. One role of the facilitator each week will be to let any adult makers in the space know about the presence of children and discuss options for keeping the children safe (e.g. barriers or obvious signs, if need be). Continuing to assess risks will be one of our ongoing main concerns.
