There are a few steps you can take to make the most of the induction.
1) Make your payment on the morning of your induction. Memberships are an initial 3 month minimum. You will receive a private link to set up your payment via email/event chat.

3) Start filling in your membership form by visiting here:
https://web.makespace.org/induction-form/ and clicking on the link to the induction form.
The form will ask for your name/address and to read the membership agreements. Please, complete that form until you reach a point where it tells you to stop and wait for the inductor.
You will require a Google account to complete the induction form at your induction.
4) Arrive before the induction start time at Makespace. At the door, you will be asked if you have completed the above steps.
You will reopen the induction form you started at home. When you log in with the same information all your data will be there.
The inductor will check your ID. Then there will be:

1. A short talk about how Makespace works (you can preview the presentation here)
2. An introduction to the equipment and training system. (have a look: https://equipment.makespace.org)
3. A safety tour of the workshops.

We will ask you to subscribe to the cammakespace Google Group (https://groups.google.com/g/cammakespace) for announcements and discussions.

Lastly you will be given your membership number so you can access training.

Our aim is to have all the administration finished within the 2 hours at which time you can join the other members in the workshops or start the online portion of your equipment training.

PLEASE DO NOT ARRIVE LATE. We will not admit after the stated meeting start time!
We look forward to seeing you at Makespace.

Back by popular demand, our November edition of Software Crafters Cambridge meetup, is an "unconference"!

This event promises an evening of engaging discussions, knowledge sharing, and networking opportunities focused on the themes of your interests. We hope you’ll come away with some new ideas to tackle your most pressing challenges and find a path to successful solutions within your own career and organisation.

Format
Rather than formal presentations, we are giving everyone attending an opportunity to shape the agenda to focus on your preferences. Our event will therefore be run “unconference” style where you’ll be given the chance to co-create the topics to be discussed.

How does it work?
You'll be given the opportunity to write topic suggestions around a tech theme on sticky notes. These will be added to a board and the group will vote on their favourite topics. The most popular will be selected and attendees then move into smaller breakout groups to discuss and come up with ideas and solutions. You'll be able to move around the groups to give you the opportunity to gain as much insight as possible.

Whether you’re the type to proactively ask questions or prefer to sit back and listen to the inquiries of others, this event is tailored to suit everyone, no matter your background, level of experience or role in tech.

Agenda
6:30-7:00pm Arrival and drinks/pizza
7:00-7:15pm Welcomes and intros
7:15-8:30pm - Unconference
8:30-8:45pm - Wrap up

Audience

Connecting the East of England with Europe's climate tech ecosystems

Cambridge Cleantech has spent fifteen years building the connections that move climate ideas forward, across Cambridge and the East of England, one of the world's most concentrated deep-tech regions.

On 12 November we are bringing that fifteen years together in one place: the first Climate Tech Forum of its kind for the region.

Be in the room with the people who can move your next idea, pilot or deal forward faster. Whether you are pitching, investing, partnering or building the ecosystem itself, this is where you meet the people who are pivotal to what happens next.

The most promising climate ventures from the region pitch here, to the investors and corporates who can scale them.

High-potential ventures take the stage. Climate and clean technologies are a named priority in the UK Industrial Strategy and in every local growth plan across the region, and Cambridge and the East of England have the research strengths, ventures and institutions to respond to it.

Selected pitching companies can be found here.

Agenda to be annouced soon.

This year's retro computer festival is on 14th November.

Tickets normally sell out so I'd recommend buying an advance. There are normally some tickets available on the door but they are only released when there's space and you may have to wait outside for other people to leave.
