Product - clear protocol. <br /> <br /> Feedback:<br /> <br /> Hire a speaking agent. You brief them on what you want to do, and they will go out and set it up. http://eviltwinbooking.org/ <br /> <br /> Target groups - clubs, student groups, faculties (profs), student outreach coordination, internship coordination, recruiting days. (Different at each institution where to start/who to contact.)<br /> <br /> Speaking agent handles contracting process, including fee negotiation.<br /> <br /> General suggestions:<br /> - Do this well in advance, possibly even before Christmas the year before.<br /> - Hang around after the talk to speak to students directly. Allow enough time for this!<br /> - Have a clear path and action list for signing up students afterwards, including a contact at the university, e.g. community support person who can/will also do info sharing, e.g. writing blog posts, etc. <br /> <br /> Other possible ideas for finding people:<br /> <br /> - Talk for free at one of the local industrial arts spaces and/or hacker spaces. Have a clear pathway for non-students to participate/contribute.<br /> - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWOOF<br /> - http://blog.meetinglife.com/sailing-the-farm-in-norway/ They do it through social media and regular update newsletters.<br /> - http://www.workaway.info/ <br /> - http://www.nationalservice.gov/programs/americorps<br /> - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_for_Humanity<br /> <br /> Match people&#039;s expectations of why they are doing this, i.e. be clear about what your project is setting out to achieve in the world and what they will contribute.</div>
