The first scenario is for projects that require a large quantity of materials. A “large quantity” is an intentionally subjective term that will be decided by the Maker Hub staff on a case-by-case basis. The term "large quantity" also applies to expensive materials such as a full sheet of plywood, which can cost well over $100 depending on the quality. Sure, some projects legitimately need a large quantity of materials. Just ask the Maker Hub staff about it first. Maybe we'll give you the green light; maybe we'll ask you to cover the cost. We monitor our inventory carefully and want there to be enough materials available for everyone to enjoy, so please don't abuse this privilege.

The second scenario is for specialized materials that the Maker Hub does not keep in stock. In this case, we can direct the user to a [[Places to Buy Materials|list of local business and online stores]] to purchase materials. If you are unfamiliar with the materials you to plan to use for your project or what materials you "should" use, talk with the Maker Hub staff before purchasing. We might be able to save you a big headache.

All Canvas quizzes are reset at the beginning of the summer, so you will need to retake all of your quizzes in the fall in order to maintain certification on those pieces of equipment. This is intentional to refresh your knowledge of how to operate the machines you've trained on once a year. However, all of your demonstrations carry over from year to year, so you don't have to go through the process of scheduling a training and demonstration with a student ace again. By all means, ask for refresher training if you need it. But, there is no requirement to redo certification training/demonstrations for any piece of equipment that you have already been certified on at some point.
