Schedule:
- Fill out a nametag, add a dot
- Dots are to show your comfort level for conversations and are not required.
- Find a seat and wait
- Sit anywhere you want. Waiting ideas: Grab a fidget, color, play on your device, see if anyone wants to chat
- Introduce yourself
- We will go in turn around the room. Tell everyone your name, and if you’ve been to a Nerdout before. You can write your answers if you prefer. Sharing is optional.
- Schedule who wants to talk
- Everyone who signs up will get five minutes to talk about one of their favorite topics
- Listen to everyone.
- This is not the time for asking questions or sharing opinions. Only one person is talking.
- Chat time and goodbyes
- When everyone is done, you can leave or chat with people until the librarians close up the room.
