You're invited to propose activities that take place in the various Drumbeat Festival spaces. This page explains how to do this.
What makes a good Festival activity?
- Start with a clear goal or problem statement.
- That excites both web and learning geeks.
- And gets them to move an idea forward.
- By critiquing, improving, testing, elaborating, coding, writing, refining, contrasting.
- In surprising and delightful ways.
What makes a bad Festival activity?
- Using slides.
- Having you talking at the front of the room.
- Having no clear way for people to participate.
- It's only about learning. Or only about the web. Should touch both.
