Thanks Naomi

I've added the one that I suggested a bit earlier.

https://hacktionlab.org/index.php?title=Workshops_for_HacktionLab_Summer_2023#Creating_tech_projects_driven_by_communities

In a way it's a nice way to share our origin stories :)


    Creating tech projects driven by communities

Format
    discussion
Proposed by
    Mick
Length
    30 or 60 mins
Equipment
    projector
Description
    How did you get started coding useful projects? How much of the
    process was purely tech, and how much was driven by being part of a
    community? For example, if you got started by coding a game, were
    you thinking of the audience? If you started by making websites,
    were they needed by a real community?

This talk proposes that it is hard to learn the skills needed to create 
useful tech projects in a vacuum. It invites a discussion to find out 
what were the community processes and needs that help motivate and 
support new coders and designers to overcome challenges. Also, if you 
wanted to replicate that to teach the next generation how could that 
happen.

Let's share examples and experiences. Also, let's try to quickly map 
what is already out there and how well it approaches learning in this way.

Nerd gag
    on, so should accessible to all
