The first workshop I attended was very hands on (as you can see in the pictures below!) so I didn't tweet much. It was run by
Deborah Lee and
Jennie Perry from
HVcats , and was great fun! We were given a pile of assorted lego and had to classify in as many ways as possible, figure out how we would deal with a new kind of brick not included in our classification scheme, and then build a tower from all the 4x2 bricks in the quickest time possible, to demonstrate the problem of distributed relatives (but mainly to win chocolate...)
Following on from that I went to
Richard Hawkins and
Lisa Hutchins ' workshop about being "cyber librarians", which was really interesting and not something I'd really considered before. I've embedded the Storify of my tweets from the day below, or you can find it
