Discussion on: I'm running my first tech workshop next week. Any general advice?

Add a little bit of entertainment here and there, it makes the presentation a bit more lively. In addition try and create something that shows off the power, the features etc but something that is cool and things people will like to see when working on it.

Great idea! I always like it when I'm watching/listening to a talk that has humor/fun in it.

Be mindful, tho. Remember it's supposed to be a hands-on workshop, not a standup performance. :)

Even though I know it's hard to do so, the best advice I can give is: rehearse! Only by doing so you'll find out if the planned activities fit the time, if the jokes are funny, etc

Forgot about rehearsing! Remember a workshop I did they could hear my knees knocking louder than I was talking.
