These are the three commandments - and they form the rule and order for the Maker Hub. There are similarities  to the rule and order in Christianity. As G.K. Chesterton said in his classic book “Orthodoxy,”

the ''more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.''

It is our hope and expectation that you and other students will be able to run wild and create many wonderful things in this space. These “commandments” are intended to provide that space - and the expectation is that everyone will abide by them. But, as we know, not everyone chooses to do so (1 Tim 1:9-10). We have seen various ways that different schools address these violations, and most use expulsion from the space as the primary penalty. Some schools use a point system where violations are assigned points and the accumulation of a certain number of points results in expulsion (much like points on a driver’s license). Our system is still under development, but some system will be coming and you should be aware that it is on its way. Some violations (not putting a chair back after moving it) might be comparatively minor, while others are extremely severe. An example of an extremely severe violation would be unauthorized use of machines in the machine or wood shop, or even authorized use of a machine without anyone else present. These violations would most likely result in immediate and extended to permanent expulsion from the shops or Maker Hub.
