Running A Class
From Site 3 coLaboratory Wiki
Classes are ludicrously easy to organize and run at Site 3. Ludicrously. Easy. We split the net profit of the class 50/50 with the class organizer, so basically, as long as you bill enough per person to cover the cost of your materials, you win, we win, everybody wins. Why not use your winnings to cover your dues for the month? Do that!
Classes at Site 3 are organized via our account with Eventbrite, located at site3.eventbrite.com. To organize a class, ask Alex or Jonathan to create the class at Eventbrite.
To Organize A Class, You Need:
- Materials. How much do yours cost?
- An idea of what you want to charge for a class. This should cover your time and your materials per person!
- Date and time. Check the g-calendar and the existing Eventbrite for an opening at least two weeks away.
- A writeup of what you want to teach, what people will get out of it, and a photo.
- Now ask to have this put in the Eventbrite. Don't have the above? Talk to someone. Ask!
- Once it is in the queue, promote your class! This is a big one. Get it made, then start making a lot of noise about it. We cannot do it alone.
Promoting Classes
Classes should be submitted to:
- BlogTO
- Torontoist
- Now Magazine
- Instant Coffee
- Facebook, via an event page
- Twitter, via a tweet about the event on Facebook as Site3coLab.
