Line 7: − − ==Thoughts on Participation== − − The Maker Hub resources exist to help ''you'' design and build ''your'' own projects. We train and equip the users to do the work. We won't "do the work" for you (again, education being our primary goal). − − With all that said, the Maker Hub staff is happy to support you and offer guidance as you build your project. We realize that not everyone has the same aptitudes for designing and creating things. This, however, is not an excuse for a lack of the requester's participation in the all phases of the project (should we decide to use the Maker Hub for your project). Full participation is expected from project requesters. − − ==But I Don't Have Time== − − Yes, training on Maker Hub equipment takes time. Learning new skills takes time. Designing and building a project always takes more time and effort than you originally estimate. It's the age-old problem that plagues almost every construction project or R&D endeavor. − − What are some alternative options? You might be able to delegate your project to a willing student who is certified on the equipment you need or is willing to learn it. It could be one of your work study students. Whether students make it or anyone else makes your project, keep in mind that sometimes the resultant product can vary greatly in quality. − − The other option is to order what you are looking for through an outside company. This is by far the most convenient and best quality option, but of course, the cost can sometimes be prohibitive. If we have determined that the Maker Hub resources and staff can't support the requested project, we often direct folks to find a third party vendor.
