[HacktionLab] BarnCamp 2017

[m3shrom at riseup.net]

Hi there,

I'm wondering what people think about getting more Forest School type
activities happening again? I think that worked really well when it did
happen and I was sad to see it peter out last time. It seemed to be a
good way of making sure there was something for young people. I know
that some of the people that brought kids last time were a bit
disappointed.

Also I don't know much about this area but I reckon you could do some
really interesting things with IoT / wireless and Forest Dens, like
rigging up cameras and microphones to try to record widelife or similar.

Anyway just a thought

nice one
Mick
