Skill Faire
On Sunday, May 17, CÉDA transforms into the sprawling, chaotic Skill Faire—a kind of anarchist science fair where trifold displays are encouraged and “please touch” is the norm. Tables and stations will showcase hands-on skills and tools, inviting people to try things out, ask questions, and leave with practical knowledge. In addition to tabling, there will be rooms reserved for longer, more in-depth skillshares that require time, focus, or specialized equipment.
See the event page for details including workshop descriptions:
