Presentation or Workshop(*)
Presentation - A formal in-meeting presentation without attendee participation to be given after Announcements and before member projects and Q&A (25 minutes max).
This is different from Show and Tell in that the content of a presentation should not be about a current or completed project but rather be educational in nature such as presenting tools, techniques, or technologies that apply to technology makers. Presentations can also be a formal request for club volunteers for an outside event.
Workshop - A dedicated workshop that begins at 1:30PM (2 hours 30 minutes max). Workshops need to be arranged with the ASC a month in advance to ensure workspace availability.
Preferred Date(*)
Month of the regular meeting that you'd like to host your presentation or workshop. Select all that you are available for.
Title(*)
Short descriptive title that gets across not just the general subject but what to expect from the presentation / workshop.
OK title example: SMD soldering
Better example: Beginner SMD soldering using a soldering iron.
Description(*)
Detailed description of what will be covered in the presentation / workshop. Here you'll want to lay out the specific goals for your audience to reach/learn. It is also useful to specify what will not be covered and why.
Example:
We will be going over how to solder SMD (surface mount device) components using a soldering iron. During this workshop we will cover:

- Common mistakes made by both beginners and pros and how to avoid them
We will not cover:
