The Maker Hub is open to all undergraduate, graduate, and ADP students. This includes both full-time and part-time students. All majors are welcome.

Aside from official tours, special Maker Hub events, and work study duties, all students who desire access to the Maker Hub's space, [[tools]], and [[equipment]] must follow the [[Getting Started|Maker Hub's training system]] to gain access--regardless of prior experience. This means that students cannot sponsor other students into this space. The Maker Hub defines "sponsoring" as a user with Maker Hub access (i.e. passed the Maker Hub Introduction Canvas Course) who is hosting/supervising a person within the Maker Hub who does not have access. Apart from the exceptions listed at the beginning of this paragraph, all students must follow the Maker Hub's training system in order for the Maker Hub to comply with safety standards and legal requirements (external to GFU). All GFU students have access to the wiki and Canvas course(s) necessary to gain access; therefore, all students who will ''be'' in this space are expected to pass the [[Getting Started#Certification|Maker Hub Introduction Canvas Course]] (which includes the waiver as one of the questions). And yes, this expectation also applies to students who are "just going to the Maker Hub to do homework with friends." But really, that's what the library is for... :/

To be clear, students do have permission to sponsor anyone (students, other employees, family members, friends, etc.) into the Maker Hub for the purposes of a tour. "Tours" do not include equipment or tool usage. Also, "tours" do not include "just going to the Maker Hub to do homework with friends." That's what the library is for... :/

GFU employees who desire access to the Maker Hub's [[tools]] and [[equipment]] must undergo the same training that students suffer (I mean... receive) regardless of prior experience.

For clarification, the Maker Hub's usage of the word "minor" applies to a person who is both under 18 ''and'' pre-college. The Maker Hub is not considering freshmen students at GFU who are still 17 at the beginning of the fall semester as minors.

Minors may only use [[equipment]] under the supervision of the Maker Hub staff. The opportunities for minors to use equipment will be almost exclusively during the Maker Camps in the summer, official tours, or school visits to the Maker Hub. At this time, the Maker Hub does not allow non-staff-members to supervise a minor's usage of [[equipment]] unless specifically delegated. High school, middle school, and elementary school students may coordinate with Admissions or the College of Engineering to take a tour of the Maker Hub. In all cases, all minors must deliver a waiver with both their signature and parent/guardian's signature before they are permitted to use any Maker Hub [[equipment]] or [[tools]].

The Maker Hub can be made available to in-semester outreach programs for minors; namely, special middle/high school programs or homeschooling groups that are seeking access to the Maker Hub during GFU's fall or spring semester. These outreach programs must first be approved by the Maker Hub Manager. Outreach programs that are requested less than two months in advance will probably be denied; early communication is key for the Maker Hub to properly host and support outreach programs. These outreach programs will need to follow a specific curriculum, follow a specific schedule, obtain the necessary staffing, receive proper training for the activities they will perform, and operate in a manner that minimally impacts any GFU academic work in the Maker Hub. The Maker Hub staff will administer training to the group teachers who will, in turn, conduct the training and curriculum for the students. Group teachers and students must comply with the same principles that all Maker Hub users observe: Safety First, Reset the Space, Be Professional. The Maker Hub staff reserves the right to terminate any outreach program that does not comply with the [[3 commandments]].
