==The Maker Hub is an Educational Space==
   −
Our philosophy is that the Maker Hub is an educational space. Our primary charter is to facilitate learning and creativity among the Maker Hub's users for both academic and personal projects. Fundamentally, the Maker Hub is not a job shop or a mass-production facility. We do not make things for outside requesters. Rather, we invite the requesters to come and train on the equipment and learn how to make the thing they are requesting. Therefore, we remain faithful to our original goal: education. As Maker Hub staff, some of the best parts of our job is watching both students and GFU employees feel the accomplishment of learning new skills and building something for themselves. We don't want to rob anyone of the accomplishment and joy of making something for themselves.

It's extremely rare that we would "do a job" for any outside party--certainly not without their significant participation and very lucrative bribes.
