Reading is hard... but somehow, we need to put the necessary training information into your brain so that you stay safe and don't break stuff while using equipment in the Maker Hub. I'll try to convey all of this in as few words as possible (humor aside).

====How We Operate====
     −
The Maker Hub has a limited number of staff and student employees. It is largely run by student staff and volunteers who help with training and overseeing various technical shops. Our students are encouraged to "own" the space. In any public space, there has to be some set of rules that govern the activity in the space. Ideally, we would just use the clever “Rule 0: Don’t make me make a rule.” But, we felt it was better to come up with some overall guiding principles rather than a list of rules. Clearly, there are some obvious “rules” that get implied from these principles, but, we believe that if you embrace the principles, the rules will take care of themselves. These principles we like to call, the [[3 commandments]]: '''Safety First''', '''Reset the Space''', '''Be Professional'''. Please explore the [[3 commandments]] page for a deeper explanation. Many of these Wiki pages will have their own "3 commandments" section to cover unique details for equipment and tools.

There is a 6,000 square foot central room known simply as "[[The Hub]]" which provides a large work area with benches and tools for general making activities.

In general, [[Equipment|equipment]] refers to larger machines than those things one might refer to as a "tool." However, in the Maker Hub, [[Equipment|equipment]] is a special category of machines because, by definitions, ''every'' piece of equipment requires certified training before an individual is allowed to use it. Information on how to achieve this training is provided on the Wiki page for each piece of [[Equipment|equipment]].
 +
[[Equipment]] is marked in the Maker Hub by the use of special icons that are displayed either on, around, or above the equipment. An example icon is this one used for the [[Horizontal Bandsaw]].
