I'm part of a group that's starting a makerspace in my city. We don't have our own space yet, but we're building a community while we search for one... And in the meantime, we've got access to an artist space with a classroom.
I want to teach some kind of metalworking-related class, and have been trying to come up with ideas that don't require making chips. I've thought about maybe having a class on reading calipers/micrometers, or something related to surface plates...
I dunno. I suppose I'm having trouble figuring out how to make such a thing... Interesting? I'm super fascinated with metrology, and I've got a fair bit of (admittedly amateur) experience... I'm struggling to figure out a way to share knowledge in an approachable, practical, group-oriented way, that's worth making a whole hour-or-so long class about.
Any suggestions would be welcome! It doesn't have to be measuring-related... That's just what springs into my mind.
(also, apologies if this isn't the right place for this. I figured since I'm looking for a way to interact with beginners, this would be the place)
