I finished a [workshop](https://openflexure.discourse.group/t/ofm-workshop-sweden-sjolabbet-a-summary-and-evaluation/1664) last week. It was quite straight forward thanks to existing official OpenFlexure build instructions.

- Audience of your workshop?  
_8 Gymnasium teachers (teaching age 15 - 19)_
- Workflow: which activities have you planned, which “exercises”?  
_First a short intro (1 h), then bulding a microscope (max 5 h) and the remaining time looking at fresh and marine water samples._
- Materials: which OFM versions do you use? Which samples?  
_Low-cost version. Fresh and marine water samples_.
- Schedule: how long did it take?  
_3-5 h for the building and ~1h for calibration and going through Openflexure connect/browser. Remaining ~1 h to look at samples._
- How many people were facilitating?  
_Two. Me + engineer from the collaborating science center._
- Any other useful info  
_Test cameras prior._
