A pop-up class is a hands-on workshop that provides an enriching 1-2 hour acitivty for its participants. The class can be about anything: electronics, soldering, coding, management... the possbilities are endless. Pop-up classes expose the participants to something new and exciting, expanding their horizons on various topics; it can be to teach how to sing like an opera singer or dance ballet, figure out how to survive a deserted island using a choice few materials, or how to perform CPR and other life-saving skills. You decide how to engage these students best!
== How to Organize a Pop-Up Class ==
'''3) Materials List and Visuals'''
*Once you have figured out the basic activity, make a list of the mateirals materials you need or the way you will relay the information to the group. Will charts or a powerpoint work best? How will the room be decorated? What will the students need for the activity (building materials, computers)? You need to figure this all out ahead of time and plan accordingly.*Don't forget that you need money to pay for these materials. Make sure you have a way to pay for them, whether from the school or an organization (or yourself, if you're really nice).
'''4) Tell everyone about the pop-up!'''
*Make sure that during and after the event you are keeping a tally of the attendance. You need to know what you are doing right and doing wrong! If you see the cinema pop-up class got half the numbers of the computer science pop-up class, the hard data is necessary to figure that out.
*To further accurately get a picture of how your event did, set up a way to get anonymous feedback. You may think the event went splendidly, but if 75% of attendees were unhappy, it's best to see why. It may be stinging criticism (especially after all that work!) but if you want to learn from your mistakes- or your victories- this is how you do it.
*Take pictures so you can show off your event to others later, and spread the word visually of the awesome event.
== Remember to Have Fun ==
The most important thing to remember is that this activity is not about you or how well you can structure a lesson- it's all about the participants and their experience, which should be enjoyable and positive. Whenever coming up with an activity, make sure it is contributing in a good way to the overall event and think about how it will help the attendees. It can help to run a model pop-up class by a few friends, and have them constructively point out what works and what doesn't, so when the big day comes you have it covered.
If ever in doubt, just try to have the most fun possible. Sometimes a ball-pit with legos can accomplish more than a ten-part seminar on mechanical engineering.
== Now Go Out and Make Your Own! ==
You can schedule as many as you want, on as many different topics as you please. It's all up to you to enrich other student's lives in this fun and awesome way!
