We had the first AGM of TinkerSoc this year and here are the slides we couldn't use due to the lack of a projector in the room!

2. TinkerSoc 08-09
“The First Chapter”

3. Emma came up
with the name
“Tinkering Society”
Electronics
“Club”
dm242 designed
the first version of
the TinkerSoc logo

4. Ideas
Time
Dedication

5. STARTING A
SOCIETY FROM
SCRATCH IS
HARD!

6. (it is actually pretty serious business)

8. And everything seems okay...
until...

9. The amazing ‘features’ of
• I am an admin but not a member of the group
• I can not view the member list but I can
actually download it
• Every time a new member joins I have to reset
my password!
• Et cetera

10. We had to manually trace every
single member and get them
added to the system.
That was fun.

13. We could have done more if...
• We started a bit earlier
• Union was a bit more responsive
• OnCampus actually worked
• Etc...

14. Next year...
• Events, presentations, workshops...
• Resources and Kit (which you can borrow
MORE for personal projects)
• Projects
– Hardware/Software/Non-Techie...

15. “HackFest”
Big Event...
•a
• Workshops, Lightning Talks, OpenLabs...
• Not just for TinkerSoc members...
• Still in planning phase, stay tuned!

16. ...and some other nifty stuff

19. it looks more exciting IRL.
honestly.

20. We need your help!
• Recruit people from non EE/CS backgrounds
• Get more members!
• Come up with ideas for workshops/events
• Have more regular meetings and stuffs
• Become a more well known society – up there
with the pole dancers (not literally up there
because climbing poles can be dangerous).

22. Thank You
Hope to see you next year!
