General Lessons Learned

  • If attendees need to register, make it more than obvious that they do. Say and it and repeat it.
  • Limit participation to about a dozen people so as not to overcrowd the space. Hold multiple sessions if needed to accommodate people.
  • Bring extra materials and tools -- participants will lose track of things, especially small things, or want to start over with a fresh whatever-it-is.


LED Cuff-specific Lessons Learned

  • The instructions could use a good diagram of the layout of everything in and on the cuff.
  • Ditch the velcro, which is too hard to sew by hand, in favor of snaps or something like that.
  • Bring a seam ripper for fixing mistakes.
