ODM’s Pick N Mix workshops during COVID-19
The March 2020 UK lockdown forced us, like many other organisations, to rethink our plans. Rather than simply take our events online, we seized the opportunity to explore new formats that allow our community to power up their skills, in a fun and friendly way, from the comfort of their homes. Thus, Pick N Mix was born!
Pick N Mix was a series of weekly, free, open to everyone online workshops. the Open Data Manchester community to run sessions based around their expertise or skill, which meant that we were lucky enough to introduce friends, new and old, to some of the latest data tools, resources and skills.
Pick N Mix was so popular that we had to extend the series from eight to ten sessions, many of which were completely booked to the virtual capacity.
