Important Advisory: The workshop is held on the third floor of the Maidstone Community Support Centre, which regretfully lacks lift access. Therefore, we advise against applying if you are unable or find it difficult to climb stairs. We are working to improve this situation for the future.
Feedback: At the end of the course, attendees will be asked to complete a short survey to help Maidstone Hackspace gather feedback on the participants' experience.
