For the benefit of the new attendees we reviewed output from previous meetings.

We then brainstormed on ideas on what we wanted from family makers, these included:

  • Educational content
  • Easy projects to start with, building to larger ones
  • Inclusion in competitive events e.g. Chain reaction
  • Overall ethos of sharing and reward of cool and creative ideas
  • Formal show and tell or discussion component in each session



Finally we came up with a list of the items that we need prior to the first session and decided on a date for the first session.
