By no means do you need all of these things, but this is what we’ve seen folks gather in the past:
- Laptops for all participants who don’t have their own (with an internet browser and word processor installed)
- Extra headphones for participants who don’t have their own
- Any additional software the course might require (this is rare)
- A projector and relevant HDMI or Mini DisplayPort adapter
- A projector screen (if there is no wall to project onto in your space)
- Adequate number of powerstrips and adapters
- Phone/camera (to record and share materials)
- Notebook and a pen
- Name tags (use them until you are sure everybody is familiar with each other)
- A few extra applications (for walk-ins)
- Snacks (if possible/appropriate)
