Ideas from parents

A few ideas for The Lab were flagged by parents in yesterday's session. These are:

- for the mentors/tutors to put up a pic of themselves on the website next to their name, so that participants will remember them and their names

- for there to be a version of a group photo at The Lab with faces and names of participants, for similar reasons as above

- There is renewed interest in the Arduino kits, so looking at an Arduino show and tell in next week's session

- for participants to be slowly introduced to a range of different games, to avoid the Team Fortress 2 obsession gripping a couple of the guys

Lastly, a note that the sign-in book is now in operation and is working well. All parents signed participants in and out, which has really reduced the scope for not knowing where a participant is.
