__NOTOC__

[[File:26926835702_76012066b8_k.jpg|thumb|400px|Freeside is the place to go for fun and approachable classes. We're always looking for more teachers!]]

Freeside offers public events, including classes and workshops, using Meetup ('''[http://www.meetup.com/Freeside-Atlanta/ Freeside's Meetup page]'''). All events listed on our Meetup page are open to non-members. Some are recurring, informal meet-ups, and others are more formal lectures or hands-on activities.

Some of our events also have Facebook pages.

Non-members, also, can give classes and run workshops here, by cooperating with a Freeside member. If you are interested in giving a class or a workshop, let us know!

We try to focus on classes that can teach basic skills and make some of the tools and technology in the space more approachable. We want to give people the info they need to get started, so that they can develop using the tools and knowledge-base available in our space.

[[Joining | Freeside members]] are eligible to receive a '''20% discount''' from the posted cost of the class.

== Teaching at Freeside ==

Our classes are taught by volunteers, so they are fairly inexpensive.

Classes are typically taught at a rate of around $5-$20 per hour. If materials are used, then an additional materials fee is included. If a materials fee is charged, the students must either use it in hands-on class work (ex. welding or mold-making) or leave the class with something to take with them (e.g., a 3D print or a laser cut part)

Teachers receive 50% of the non-materials portion of class revenues. The instructor also receives the materials fee if he or she provides the materials. If Freeside provides the materials, Freeside retains the materials fee. Though we typically don't do free classes, some teachers opt to donate their 50% to Freeside.

Free workshops are covered under a different section.

Teaching at Freeside is a great way to share your skills with the community, get more people involved, and make a real, positive impact on the space.

Would you like to teach a class, but you're not sure what? Here are some [[Class Ideas]] to give you an idea of what we've heard people request classes on.

== How to register as a Teacher at Freeside ==

Next, register to teach a class by emailing ac@freesideatlanta.org and we'll get with you to look over the lesson plan, discuss the details of the class relevant to scheduling and promotion, make any necessary adjustments, and then launch the class on Meetup and Facebook.

== Why Classes are important to Freeside ==

Freeside's mission is to provide a place for education and research in the Atlanta community. We know it is important to make our space and community more approachable to newcomers. Bringing them in with classes, and giving them the tools and knowledge they need to be successful, is key to keep Freeside growing and changing.

To achieve these goals, our class structure has to take everyone's needs into consideration. We've organized classes this way because we feel it is the most best way for everyone involved:

Good for students
*Basic information and a network of help
*Reasonable pricing ($5-$20 per hour of instruction recommended + materials fees if applicable)
*Reliable and organized instruction
Good for teachers
*50% take of all non-materials class income
*Teachers benefit from Freeside’s network of interested students
*Free advertising and promotion
*Administration of class is taken care of
*Space and equipment are provided by Freeside
Good for Freeside
*More support for more materials, space, and resources
*Better skills = cooler projects for members
Good for Freeside Members
*Freeside members get a 20% refund on class fees (taken from Freeside’s portion, not the instructor's portion)
*More diverse classes bring more diverse people to Freeside

== Open to non-members ==

If you are interested in attending a class and are not a member, either email ac@freesideatlanta.org or contact the member contact for the particular class you're interested in. We can ensure that you get the [http://goo.gl/we3eWP Gate Code] for the Metropolitan complex.

Freeside is always looking for volunteers! If you're interested in speaking or giving a talk at Freeside, please fill out or application form. We'll contact you to help you schedule and promote your class, lecture, or workshop.

= Nathan Burnham =

I'm Nathan, I'm that guy with the google glass.
I have been a freeside member since Sept 2013.

== Things ==
* Host Freeside programming team.
* Hosted Ted Talk & Discussion Night / Freeside Futurism for a while.
* Hosted Intro to arduino meetup.

* M.S. Computer engineering
* Quit my cushy embedded computer engineering job to try out a start-up.

== Interests ==
* Everything
* Soft robotics
* Algorithms
* Linux
* Start ups
* Circuit Design
* Embedded software
* Android
* Web
* Google

== Outside Freeside: ==
* Run GDG Atlanta (Google Developer group).
* Started Mercer Robotics Club (It is pretty much a college hackerspace).
* Race sailboats (Thistles 6 years, 420s the 4 years before that).
* Play poi.
* vim > emacs

== BOD Snippet ==
: My thoughts on what core things make freeside great.
==== Things that make freeside great ====
* Community
* Making/doing cool thing

I want to focus on those two things.
I think that when people do something cool in the space that is what will draw others to the space. I think most of the people that come to freeside want to make stuff or learn something. So this is what I think the feedback loop looks like.

<big>
# Freesiders make/do something cool.
# People outside see this cool thing.
# People outside come to freeside.
# People outside become freesiders and go to 1.
</big>
I would like to lube up this loop.

=== 1. Freesiders make/do something cool. ===
I think the board should remove obstacles and facilitate this.
* Encourage freesiders to do more cool things at freeside.
* Make sure the space is equipped to make/do said cool things.
* Make sure clutter or other things in the space are not getting in the way.
* Help connect freesiders to projects they would like to work on.
==== Some experiments to try. ====
* Keep track of ongoing projects more.
* Remind people working on projects to keep working.
* Ask them what is getting in their way.
* Ask them if they would like us to keep an eye out for people to help.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.

=== 2. People outside see cool things. ===
* Encourage freesiders to get projects to a state where they can tell people about it.
: IE Finish it
* Encourage freesiders to post their stuff more to the wiki/blog/facebook/their personal FB.
==== Some experiments to try ====
* Other ways of promoting what we do.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.

=== 3. People outside come to freeside. ===
I think there are probably ways to make people more comfortable with coming to freeside.
==== Some experiments to try ====
* Put up information in the space about where people should park.
: I think a lot of people who come to the space have not read the parking thing online.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.

=== 4. People outside become freesiders. ===
* Keep the space clean.
* Make the space welcoming.
* Connect new people with projects they would be helpful on.

# People outside become freesiders and go to 1

I would like to lube up this loop.
=== 1. Freesiders make/do something cool ===
I think the board should remove obstacles and facilitate this.
* Encourage freesiders to do more cool things at freeside.
* Make sure the space is equipped to make/do said cool things.
* Make sure clutter or other things in the space are not getting in the way.
* Help connect freesiders to projects they would like to work on.
==== Some experiments to try ====
* Keep track of ongoing projects more
* Remind people working on projects to keep working
* Ask them what is getting in their way
* Ask them if they would like us to keep an eye out for people to help
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.

=== 2. People outside see cool things. ===
* Encourage freesiders to get projects to a state where they can tell people about it
: IE Finish it
* Encourage freesiders to post their stuff more to the wiki/blog/facebook/their personal FB
==== Some experiments to try ====
* Other ways of promoting what we do.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.

=== 3. People outside come to freeside. ===
I think there are probably ways to make people more comfortable with coming to freeside.
==== Some experiments to try ====
* Put up information in the space about where people should park.
: I think a lot of people who come to the space have not read the parking thing online.
* Make this more measurable so we can gauge how we well thing we do work.

=== 4. People outside become freesiders ===
* Keep the space clean
* Make the space welcoming
* Connect new people with projects they would be helpful on.

I think that when people do something cool in the space that is what will draw others to the space. I think most of the people that come to freeside want to make stuff or learn something. So this is what I think the feedback loop looks like.
