People should leave with a working first version and the wish to continue at home.</li><li>Give people slides, a guide and a ready-made repo they keep. Say at the start that all of it stays online, so nobody takes notes or photos.</li><li>Spend the room&apos;s time on tasks that teach and are fun. Script the setup, prepare everything else, and test it all yourself from an empty machine.</li><li>Keep the room together, and build the workshop so it runs without you. Then you have time for the people in it.</li></ul>
