WorkshopKnife skills, bike repair, woodworking, first aid. Hands on.
Money and investingBook-club style talks on money. Education only, no pitches.
Talks and scienceLectures, science nights, space talks, library events. Go together, talk after.
Public speakingShort speeches, kind feedback and a timer. The fastest way to stop dreading presentations.
Study groupExams, certifications, a new language. Work in focused blocks with people who get it.
History walkA local who knows the stories behind the buildings. You will never see your street the same way.

Why it works here

Study groups and classes work when people keep coming back. Paying to join helps the first session fill, and the group keeps it going.

There is a topic, a time box, and somebody who knows enough to get newcomers going in ten minutes.

No learning plans on the board yet.

Pick a topic, a format and a time box. People join more easily for ninety minutes than for an open evening.
