test the tech well in advance of the meeting! Obviously this sounds like a no brainer but testing the tech is really important. Testing it well in advance helps you in 2 specific areas:
Allows you to troubleshoot in case something goes wrong. With any piece of tech you use for a youth gathering you will always test it out the week leading up to the event to make sure it works fine. Despite all the testing you do leading up to the event, inevitably there is always a chance of something being messed up the night of the event. Cords could be misplaced and computers reboot are just a few of the many different things that could be misplaced or go wrong. That is why you test well before students start showing up and the meeting gets started.- Allows you to hang out with students and greet parents. When you fail to set up in plenty of time you are busy troubleshooting and setting up when you should be hanging out with students or greeting parents. The time spent before a gathering starts is really important time to connect with others. Don’t miss the great connection time before an event because you are too buys with tech stuff.
