Unsheffield wants to help organisations from the region get going with new social technologies that can further their causes. The Social Media Surgery will be open as a drop-in from 11am to 5pm on both Saturday June 20 and Sunday June 21. There is no need to book a place, just come along to the Showroom Cinema and find out how easily technology can make a difference to your cause.

We are delighted to announce a free workshop for children and parents to learn the basics of Scratch to explore creativity through technology. Scratch allows young people to make their own interactive art and computer games, and was used to create the Avatars displayed in the Showroom Cinema during Unsheffield and the Sheffield Children’s Festival.

Unsheffield fka BarCamp Sheffield

By Jag Gill ⋅ May 7, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

BarCamp Sheffield has evolved to Unsheffield, and is taking the technology unconference format to a broader public. Participant-generated content still remains at the heart of the event. Mixed up alongside are public workshops that create a bridge between local and regional talent and the international event and its contributors.
