Electromagnetic Field 2014 Workshops

Workshops are interactive events where you are expected to participate, learn, teach, and have a lot of fun. They range from lockpicking, soldering, debating, pentesting to robotics, making chiptunes and more.

Planned workshops

No workshops have been confirmed yet, watch this page for updates on this topic!

Want to give a workshop?

If you are interested in giving a workshop, please fill in the Call for Participation.


Workshop Name: Example workshop

Contact: Mr Foo, foo@example.com, 'foo' on IRC

Participants: 5 to 10

Estimated Duration: 1 hour

Description: This workshop will involve water, unicorns and lots of blinkenlights.

Prerequisites: No special skills needed, but bring swimwear!


Workshops we'd like to see (suggestions)

  • More blacksmithery (as per 2012)
  • How to make a Klein bottle
  • Green woodworking ([this sort of thing])
  • The headhacking guy
  • How to butcher a rabbit - This is controversial and is not a workshop some people would like to see. It is likely to put some people off attending EMFCamp. But obviously would be held somewhere out of sight of those who might be upset.
  • Stained glass
  • Knitting
  • Jewellery making (silver clay, etc.)
  • Stop motion (with lego or hand made puppets)
