MS x Kings E-Lab Final Planning Session
Details
On Thursday 1 October we're running a hands-on electronics and entrepreneurship day for 90 students, split across Makespace and the Keynes Lecture Theatre at King's College. Students work in teams of five to solder and build an electronics kit, then pitch it — half the group at each venue, swapping over at the halfway point.

This event on Wednesday 23rd September at 6.30pm - MakeSpace Classroom is the second of two planning sessions that we plan to use to prepare for the Kings E-Lab event.
As with everything at MakeSpace this is a volunteer effort and enthusiasm for putting on the Kings E-Lab session has been high so far.
We've already been able to:
- Design our own MakeSpace Training Board (Thanks Chris)
- Organise two entrepreneurs who are both MakeSpace members to be speakers at the event
- Decide how to teach new-starters soldering
What's yet to be done:
- Prepare the Training boards
- Order the remainder of the soldering kits and components
- Prepare marketing materials / resources for students on the day
- Familiarise volunteers with the electronics kits
Run Up to October 1st Gameplan
Our most up to date gameplan can be found here. This includes our full Run-Up timeline as we approach the event.
Why join?
MakeSpace is a great community of makers and oftentimes we all work on solo projects. This is a project to give back, and make the most of the combined skillsets of MakeSpace members to serve the wider Cambridge community.
If you want to help MakeSpace make an impact, and collaborate with other makers to give students the best experience that MakeSpace can offer then We'd love to see you help either with the planning, or with volunteering on the morning of Thursday 1st of October.
You can sign up to volunteer here
Who should join?
We're really open to the different perspectives and help of our MakeSpace members. So far we've had a lot of input from the electronics owners and electronics specialists in the space because of the nature of this session - however, no electronics expertise is required to help!
