HESFES field guide
Workshop materials calculator
Estimate paper, pencils and counters for a group workshop. Choose the activity and group size to see quantities you can pack and share.
Quantities for a small group
For the paper bridge test, start with three sheets per pair and a set of twenty equal counters per pair. Two matching books support each span. A sound map takes one sheet and one pencil per observer. For a pocket museum, use a long strip and a pencil per curator.
The calculator rounds pairs up so a group of five gets three workstations. The spare-paper option adds ten per cent, rounded up to a whole sheet or strip. Pencils and bridge supports can go back into a shared kit after the session.
