Workshop Proposal

Thanks for your interest in sharing your knowledge with the MakeHaven community!





Whether you've come here on your own or been directed here by someone at MakeHaven we're excited to make your ideas a reality. Information on how workshops are organized and managed can be found HERE.

Below is 95% of the information we need to create a workshop listing. Once the form below is filled out and submitted, Ashley will be in touch. If you have any questions, please contact them at Events@makehaven.org.

We have created an easy to follow guide for translating your skills and talents into a formatted and planned workshop. There are many resources online and many different teaching methods. These are the steps and structures that we have found work best for the MakeHaven community. That information can be found HERE.

Pro-tip: We highly recommend drafting the answers to these questions in a separate document you can save for future reference or in case anything goes wrong while you're submitting this form.

The Class
Promotional class description: Include a paragraph describing your course to prospective students (for listing on the registration page). Make it clear what the class will cover, who it's intended for, what skills will be covered, and why people should be excited to take it. If there's a tangible takeaway (eg "10 completed screen-printed greeting cards of your own design") include that as well.
Weeknights are ideal for 2-3 hour workshops, usually starting at 6pm. Weekends are ideal for all day classes. Be sure to indicate if this is intended to be a multi-day class.

The Student
Age Minimum
Please include links or reference photos required, please indicate if link is specific or example. Lists should include expected amount of each item and whether the student will take the items/tools home. Some classes do include the tools to continue the craft, but be aware that that will increase ticket costs.
Please include any necessary prior courses or knowledge (examples: "Must have already taken basic woodshop safety at MakeHaven" or "Students should have some prior milling experience."). If there are no prerequisites, list "None."
List anything students should bring with them. Examples: laptop w/ Windows OS and trial of Solidworks installed. Please provide links as appropriate.
The Fine Print Stuff
All instructors must sign an instructor agreement prior to scheduling the class.
