I think it's a great idea! I could do an 'introduction to programming'
workshop if that were wanted.

There are probably tons of potential introductory topics in
electronics - basic concepts, soldering techniques, how to drive
servos/actuators... lots of things.

We are already doing 3D printing nights but to have some actual
workshops on the software tools for making 3D models could be good?

Also, I don't know if this really falls into the CCHS's scope, because
we don't seem to have much equipment for it, but I would really like
to learn something of the basics of making "big stuff" - such as the
basics of woodworking. What tools to use to solve particular problems,
where to find them (do I need a bandsaw!?), where to get materials,
etc.

I suppose one logistical limit will be that for any hands-on workshop
(like soldering) we'll need enough equipment for the participants.
Anything computer-based is fine thanks to the donated laptops. And,
someone just giving a presentation is pretty good too - something like
that can really help when you are just getting started and you don't
even know what you don't know!
