Right now, you are in the middle of the Maker Hub Introduction training course. Successful completion of this course grants you 24/7 access to The Hub. There are many other training courses available. Each [[Facilities|facility]] in the Maker Hub has a top-level Canvas quiz (e.g. the [[Prototype Lab]]). Successful completion of the Prototype Lab's top-level Canvas quiz grants you access to the Prototype Lab. Each piece of [Equipment|equipment]] in the Maker Hub has an associated Canvas quiz (e.g. the [[Prusa 3D Printer]]). Successful completion of the Prusa 3D Printer's Canvas quiz <strong>plus training and a demonstration from a staff member</strong> authorizes you to use the Prusa 3D Printer. You won't be able to take the Prusa 3D Printer quiz until you have passed the Prototype Lab's top-level quiz. For all you visual learners out there, take a look at the fancy graph below. Each node represents a Canvas quiz (unless the node is labelled with "No Quiz"). The graph follows a sequential process of completing quizzes from left to right. Take a minute to bask in its glory, then continue reading below.

Each of the shops/labs below has controlled access. To acquire access to these labs, there will be a training course for each room in addition to the specific machine training courses. Those courses will cover the more specific application of the three commandments as well as the specific capabilities in each room.

The training will be offered via a Canvas course for each piece of equipment. If the system is relatively simple, the course might just be basic reading with a simple quiz (like this one). More complex tools might involve demonstration videos along with a live demonstration of your ability to properly use the machines.

How does our training system work? Take a look at the fancy graph below. Every node on the graph has a corresponding Canvas quiz (unless it is labelled with (No Quiz)). The middle column contains all of the facilities within the Maker Hub; most facilities have a corresponding Canvas Quiz. The right column contains each piece of equipment within the Maker Hub... and you guessed it; each piece of equipment has its respective quiz. The graph follows a sequential process of completing quizzes from left to right. For example, if I wanted to get certified on the Milling Machine, I would need to take the [[Getting Started | Maker Hub Intro quiz]], then the [[Machine Shop]] quiz, then the [[Milling Machine]] quiz. All of the information I would need to pass these 3 quizzes can be found at the respective links given. After that, let's say that I also wanted to get certified on the Sewing Machine. Well, I've already passed the Maker Hub Intro quiz, and there's no quiz for The Hub... so I only need to pass the [[Sewing Machine]] quiz. So on and so forth. Keep in mind that all Canvas quizzes are reset at the beginning of the summer, so you will need to retake all your quizzes in the fall (but all demonstrations carry over). This is intentional to refresh your knowledge of how to operate each machine once a year.
