Loosely modeled around the format of a science fair, Slade Technology  
Fayre is an informal non-hierarchical event, which seeks to gather  
skills and experience into the school and escalate the conversation  
surrounding work that makes use of technology.

At the Fayre all participants are both teachers and learners. For  
people used to presenting work in a critical context this is an  
opportunity to take a step back and share information about the often- 
invisible activities happening in the computer. For those less engaged  
with a critical sphere, the Fayre is an opportunity to get involved in  
a discussion about how the work is operating critically as well as  
technically
