_NOTOC_
 
In order to properly support student classwork and our faculty, the Maker Hub needs some advance notice for class-related projects that will involve significant Maker Hub usage. Please see the following guidelines below to design and implement a class project in the Maker Hub that has the highest chance of being successful. Yes, it's long... just read it.

As you can see, this process can take a while, but it greatly increases the likelihood of your class project being a success. Please share with Nick and Justin the due dates of the various phases of your project so we know when to expect your students.
