== What makes a good Pop Up ==

A Pop Up explores how to bring together local groups to share activities and start to grow a learning community in a city. 

=== Organizations ===
* Engage local organizations before the event.
* Talk to them about their interests, goals, and activities. 
* Ideally, the participating organizations share some core values, such as the learning by making ethic, or the role of out-of-school educational initiatives. 

=== Stations ===
* What makes a good learning station?
** A fun, short game or activity that teaches you something about technology & other skills
** Can be completed in 5min or expanded to an hour, as participants like
** Participants can easily float in and out, on a rolling basis.
** Participants can easily share what they did afterwards
** Activity is well documented and shared (website/wiki)
* Consider also planning time for station hosts to see each other's projects and exchange ideas.
