** Important Update **
This event has been postponed to March 31, 2020, and will be held online.
In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and in an effort to ‘flatten the curve,’ we have decided to move this workshop online and will not be hosting it in person at the SUB Orion Room as originally planned. We take your health and safety very seriously, and encourage you to join us through Google Meets on March 31, where you will be able to engage with Abdul and one another directly from your device at home. A link to the Google Meets event will be posted closer to the date.
We hope to see you all online, and in the meantime - stay safe, stay home, and keep creating.
