Want to lead a workshop at elm-conf?
Wonderful!
(Want to submit a talk or open space instead?)
Let's talk logistics:
Workshops are either two or four hours long.
We expect workshop attendees to come away with new practical knowledge. For example: do you want people to learn how to create their own generative art? Should they come away confident that they can build an app against a GraphQL API? That's why we ask you to list your learning goals on the form below.
Unlike talks, workshops do not have to assume attendees know much Elm. If you'd like to lead a workshop on Elm fundamentals, feel free to pitch it. Please indicate what experience, if any, you expect attendees to have before starting your workshop. It's probably not safe to assume that attendees will do pre-work apart from some light reading, so be prepared to meet people where they are.
We will have a facilitator present in your workshop, but they are mostly there to help out with logistics of getting people online, running any breakout rooms, et cetera. If you need more help than that to run your workshop, plan out how many teaching assistants you will need in advance. Go ahead and list these people as co-teachers on the form. Good student:teacher ratios vary from workshop to workshop, but a good starting place is 3:1. If you need volunteers from the community, let us know and we can help.
If your workshop is accepted, you and any co-teachers or assistants will get free admission to the conference.
