Geek Girls Allowed

What: A blinking marvellous craft and electronics one day extravaganza
When: Saturday 23rd October, 11am – 5pm
Where: GIST Lab
Cost: £10

In the first of our “Making/Doing” Geek Girls Allowed sessions, we’d like to invite you to a day of technology, crafting and creativity. We’ll be using LEDs, fabrics, imagination and new skills to create cool stuff to amaze and inspire. We might even take to the streets of Sheffield to do a bit of Guerilla Illumination afterwards, if you fancy it.

Never knitted a stitch or soldered a wire before? Not a problem – we’ll have a range of activities, loads of support and a friendly expert or two to help us out.

There will a choice of projects ranging from very crafty to very electronic – and something in between. We’ll make sure there’s a mix to meet a variety of skills and interests. What’s more, we’ll provide all the equipment you need to create your very own electronic craft masterpiece, lunch* and lots of sustaining of tea and biscuits to aid inspiration.

As we will need equipment and materials to produce our blinking marvellous fancy fripperies, we are asking for £10 to cover costs – there’s a tip jar if you want to pitch a few pennies into the Geek Girls Allowed pot too.

So, if you are feeling inspired and ready to go, sign up with EventBrite.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
