What is SkeptiCamp?

 

SkeptiCamp is a new kind of BarCamp, a conference whose content is provided by attendees. Where BarCamp is focused on technology, SkeptiCamp instead focuses on topics of interest to skeptics, including science, critical thinking and skeptical inquiry. For full details, including a listing of other camps being organized, visit the SkeptiCamp main page.

The event overall was good.

 

Some positives:

  1. coves for people to go outside and talk in small groups
  2. lots of presentations, the presentations were all good
  3. this setting allows for people to grow their presentation skills and give them an outlet to talk about what they think people need to know

 

Some Negatives:

  1. The Structure needed to be more defined.
  2. Questions and Answers didn't have much time
  3. More BREAKS!
  4. Fixed and enforced limit for talks, perhaps 25 minutes
  5. Insufficient participation. Everyone should contribute, even if it's merely getting up and putting an interesting question to the group for discussion.
  6. Need to either reduce costs or improve skills in finding local sponsors to cover the costs.
  7. Organizers shouldn't do talks. Two reasons: 1) too many distractions to prepare properly 2) if there's an expectation that organizers do talks, then it's one more barrier to organizing an event. That goes against a core principle of barcamp.
