Events vs Classes

The system supports two types of offerings:

Type	Description	Example
Event	General workshops or activities	”Open Shop Night”, “Member Mixer”
Class	Structured learning with an instructor	”Intro to Woodworking”, “CNC Basics”

Classes require an assigned instructor. Events do not.

Single Events vs Multi-Session Courses

You can create two formats:

Single-Session Events

One-time workshops or activities with a specific date and time.

Example: “Laser Cutter Safety Workshop” on Saturday, March 15th from 2-4pm

Multi-Session Courses

A series of sessions that participants attend together as a group (called a “cohort”).

Example: “Intro to Woodworking” - a 4-week course meeting every Tuesday in April

When members register for a multi-session course, they enroll in all sessions at once.
