BETT 2016 Freebies Thread

[Dos_Box]

With days to go it's about time we got the freebies thread for this years BETT up and running.

If it's your first time at BETT I suggest you keep an eye on this thread and take a big bag

 

We shall be giving away our usual Lanyards on Stand E300 (in retro yellow!) as well as having bigger AFK badges with a new and topical colour scheme (we aim to change the colours on the badge each year). Let's see who will be the first to guess what it is.

Full answer only please - you'll see what I mean.

 

We shall also be having our usual raffle with the following prizes kindly donated by VeryPC and Neustro:

 

 

• VeryPC Ultrabook SS
  
• VeryPC Flex Micro PC
  
• Either an Apple Watch or Android compatable equivalent from Neustro Education
  

 

 

See you next week

Can I remind people that to enter the raffle and to get an AFK badge YOU MUST KNOW YOUR EDUGEEK POSTING NAME!

 

It's amazing how many people turn up at the stand and then spend ages trying to work it out!

Yellow, to match the lanyards?

Nah, purple because @Little-Miss was in charge of the stand design.

[bald_pig]

Orange?

[bald_pig]

Wait, full answer? So something like sunburst orange or Royal blue?

[elsiegee40]

@Dos_Box means guess the topical theme for the badges once you see them... Not guess the colours beforehand

[Dos_Box]

Come to the stand, get a badge and then guess what the colours mean.

I mean.

[Joanne]

Kinda wanna guess now... but will keep schtum!

[jamesreedersmith]

Resistor colour codes for the year?

a new and topical colour scheme

 

I keep reading that as a "TROPICAL" colour scheme... Was going to ask if you're doing fruity cocktails in coconuts.

Why dont we put our edugeek names on our "proper" badges? That way we dont need to remember them .

Since I'm not able to go, I would quite happily receive freebies by post [emoji1]

There is useful free stuff to be had at the Raspberry Pi / Code Club Stand in the STEAM Village: https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/visit-bett-show-2016/

 

To obtain the swag, you'll need to take part in a workshop - and there are some corkers (look out for the Astro Pi ones if you are interested in the research being done by Tim Peake on the International Space Station): https://www.raspberrypi.org/education/bett-2016/workshop-timetable-2/

 

I'm running the "Make a ChatBot" sessions on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd - not especially Edugeeky, but if you would like to point any teachers in your schools in my direction, that would be grand!

Just received an email from NS Optimum who will be on stand C279 where it states:

'Lots of goodies to give away including non-spill staff mugs – claim yours by visiting our stand.'

Sound very interesting. Wonder if they're like Tommee Tippee ones?

There is no such thing as a no-spill mug when a teacher is involved!

 

Still - I would like one - I am allowed to have coffee near a computer as I am a technician

That's just the rule

Fixed.

I have seen the size of the box... They are not likely to run out! Not bay Saturday am at least!

[chrishill88]

Already collecting emails of companies and their "offerings" ready for saturday's visit.

 

Lynx Networks - Mini screwdriver set and torch (with a letter that came to the school though)

Groupcall - Mug or football (when you complete a quiz, recieved via email but they may have some on the stand)

Talkstraight/School's Broadband - Travel mugs.

 

I've seen about Net-Ctrl giving Ruckus dogs (large and small, stuffed) and prize draw for Star Wars lego but believe it's aimed at customers only.

 

Hopefully the list will expand!
