UK Educamp (personal) reflection-o-rama | Notion

This week was our third iteration of Educamp, we’ve run 3 events in 13 months with events in Sheffield, Edinburgh and Cambridge. So, with it being in Cambridge I was really nervous. A lot of the organisation had happened while I was on parenting leave and one of my senior product managers, Karen, had taken the lead in getting the on-the-ground stuff done but then was off on holiday the day before (which is my baby-holding day) so we had to do a handover with lots of plastic wallets and my son trying hard to pull her hair/grab any hot drinks on the table.

Today I'm at #UKEduCamp (summer edition). Here we are with @blangry suggesting sessions. There was a huge round of applause for someone suggesting a session on "How can we make progress when no-one will make a decision?"
Thanks to NeonTribe (https://www.neontribe.co.uk) for lending us @harryharold for the day. His unconference grid wrangling skills are exceptional and very much appreciated #UKEduCamp

Today's UKEduCamp is in the Outreach centre of the University of Edinburgh. It's a fabulous venue and feels like it was designed specifically for our unconference. Thank you Edinburgh Uni for providing this amazing space. #UKEduCamp

Two questions for in prep for #UKEduCamp:
- As someone who's been in HE for a while, what would you pass on to someone new to the sector?
- As a someone new to HE, what is the oddest thing you've found out so far?

Get yourself a ticket https://ukeducamp.co.uk and discuss.

We're about order the lovely diversity stickers for #UKEduCamp. We figured that we should ask all of you if you had any ideas for other stickers you'd like for your laptop.
If you have any ideas that we can turn into stickers to give away, then we'll think of a way to thank you.
