Feedback from online form

Evaluation of the Computer Club at Todmorden Makery
#

Summary structured using green, yellow, and red categories

Green: working well / clear positives
#

Good level of interest and sustained engagement.
Strong value placed on meeting people and social contact for computer enthusiasts.
Weekly sessions help maintain focus and allow questions to develop.
Increased confidence in sharing ideas and getting feedback.
Practical learning valued, including Linux use, command line tools, and system understanding.
Curated choices and suggested directions reduce overwhelm.
Interest in creative outputs and applied work.
Community-facing projects seen as motivating, including a local website for the local area.
Laptop reuse and resale viewed positively.

Yellow: emerging issues / areas needing development
#

Mixed experience levels among participants.
Need for differentiation between beginners and more experienced attendees.
Desire to work more deeply on a single topic rather than covering many.
Strong interest in privacy, security, and tracking, but recognition that research and myth-busting are needed.
Need to frame security topics carefully to remain empowering.

Red: risks / constraints to manage
#

Lack of clear pathways may reduce momentum if sessions feel too open-ended.
Risk of privacy and security discussions becoming overwhelming or anxiety-inducing.
Loss of tacit digital skills when changing tools or platforms.

Refubished Laptops for Sale at the Makery

Thu, 01 May 2025 13:14:34 +0000

Our volunteers have fixed up a few laptops donated from a local school. We’ve also bought hard drives for them- on offer are 4g or 8g Ram.

They have a version of Linux on them called Mint- it’s very similar to Windows but has less problems with viruses and going out of date. If you need the Windows operating system the computer guy at Tod Market could put that on pretty cheaply.

Could you volunteer around use and reuse of Digital Devices?

Fri, 15 Nov 2024 08:52:00 +0000

It’s Mick here with a post about asking for potential volunteers for the digital devices work we do. At the Makery, we’ve done a fair bit on finding new homes for digital devices of laptops and phones. And also helping people to use phones and laptops them with a monthly Tech and Tea.

It’s been working really well. people are happy to donate us their old devices, we wipe them and test we can get them working well and people on limited funds really need these devices.
