Hi Carlos !
I really appreciate your enthusiasm :)

The idea is to prepare the materials for a laboratory of 3-4 hours (maybe
split in more days)

This materials will be available on github, I will probably create a repo
called Poland:Microbit.

After this the plan is to organise local courses for the teachers and then
organise the courses for the students, probably outside the schools.

The workshop/laboratory will be around that duration, but the plan is to
have more than one, I would like to have this kind of ratio 10 students/1
teacher and also to spread this around Poland.

As I said the feedback was very good and a lot of associations are already
doing something.

For example them: http://www.superbelfrzy.edu.pl/ (Super Teachers)

The main cost will be for the Microbit, probably there will be the need to
cover some expenses but I really hope to have some companies interested in
joining this project.

At least for now I'm pretty sure to have the spaces for the courses for
free :D

But it will not be a "remote workshop", apart from having a github
repository for the material, everything will be "local".
