Other notes about things to bring (or not):
- We ask that participants not bring laptops; please check with me before packing other technologies. This is a “low-tech” event!
- We will supply hard hats and safety goggles. Safety is important to us!
- If anyone wants to bring a camera or video camera to make a record of our week, please do! It’s great to have afterwards, and some students have used this opportunity to do a school art or writing project. Please bring any special cords your have for your camera(s), in case John would like to upload these to the trip’s blog during the week.
- We like to have people bring bus snacks, especially fruit and non-junk food.
