Setting up the space

Please have the room set up ready for our arrival.

  • Space: A large open indoor space such as a hall or theatre.
  • Tables and chairs: The room set up ready for our arrival, with a double-space table or two connected exam tables for each team.
  • For example: A maximum of 30 students per session in 10 teams of 3. A 30-student session needs 10 tables and 30 chairs.
  • Screen or projector: Access to a screen or projector for modelling the activities. We can provide our own if you let us know in advance.
  • Parking: A parking space as near as possible to the workshop space. There is a lot of equipment to unload.

On the day

Timings and access

  • Space needed for: We need the space for at least 1 hour before the start, for the duration of the event (approximately 4 to 5 hours), and for at least 30 minutes afterwards.
  • Arrival: We typically arrive at around 7:45am to be ready for a 9am start.
  • Setup time: We need 60 minutes to set up at the start of the day. Please also allow 20 to 25 minutes before the first afternoon session if we have had to vacate the hall during lunch.
  • Between sessions: At least 5 minutes between sessions so we can reset the room for the next group.

How other schools have set up

Real setups from previous deliveries. Yours does not need to match exactly.

Large school hall set up for a Drone Coding workshop with paired exam tables spaced around the perimeter and challenge mats across the floor
Paired exam tables placed around the perimeter of the room and spaced out so each group has plenty of room to fly. This session was delivered to teams of three, so ten spaces were allocated.
