The Maker Hub has a diverse user base. This page seeks to describe the access and expectations for each type of user. Maker Hub access should be considered a privilege, and the Maker Hub staff members reserve the right to revoke user access privileges as they see fit.

Aside from official tour guide and work study duties, all students who desire access to the Maker Hub's space, [[tools]], and [[equipment]] must follow the [[Getting Started|Maker Hub's training system]] regardless of prior experience.
Aside from official tours, special Maker Hub events, and work study duties, all students who desire access to the Maker Hub's space, [[tools]], and [[equipment]] must follow the [[Getting Started|Maker Hub's training system]] to gain access--regardless of prior experience. This means that students cannot sponsor other students into this space. The Maker Hub defines "sponsoring" as a user with Maker Hub access (i.e. passed the Maker Hub Introduction Canvas Course) who is hosting/supervising a person within the Maker Hub who does not have access. Apart from the exceptions listed at the beginning of this paragraph, all students must follow the Maker Hub's training system in order for the Maker Hub to comply with safety standards and legal requirements (external to GFU). All GFU students have access to the wiki and Canvas course(s) necessary to gain access; therefore, all students who will ''be'' in this space are expected to pass the [[Getting Started#Certification|Maker Hub Introduction Canvas Course]] and sign the waiver at a minimum. And yes, this expectation also applies to students who are "just going to the Maker Hub to do homework with friends." But really, that's what the library is for... :/

The Maker Hub has several regular work study positions over the course of the semester. These positions include: machine shop supervisors, prototype lab supervisors, the tool room attendant, and the social media intern. These positions oversee their respective areas and work closely with the Maker Hub staff and College of Engineering to advance the makerspace/program, train/maintain, and host events. The Maker Hub also employs a couple interns during the summer.

===Student Spouses and Family Members===
===Student Spouses and Family Members===
Students may sponsor their spouse and family members into the Maker Hub. This means that student spouses and family members may accompany the current GFU student within the facility. While family members may use [[tools]] along with their student sponsor, all minors (under 18) are prohibited from using any Maker Hub [[equipment]] or [[tools]] until they have signed a liability release form. The student sponsor assumes full responsibility for ensuring that his or her guests adhere to the proper safety protocols and professionalism required in the Maker Hub. Student spouses may train on and use the Maker Hub's [[equipment]]. The first step in connecting the student's spouse with the Maker Hub is for the student to initiate a background check with HR. HR will pass their information to the IT department so they can create a GFU ID and the proper computer accounts. Student spouses are expected to undergo the proper wiki/quiz/training/demonstration process of being certified on a piece of [[equipment]] just like students and employees. Student spouses may also serve as a Maker Hub volunteer (see the Volunteers section).

Employees may sponsor their spouse and family members into the Maker Hub. This means that employee spouses and family members may accompany the employee within the facility.

===Minors, High School, and Middle/Elementary School Students===
For clarification, the Maker Hub's usage of the word "minor" applies to a person who is both under 18 ''and'' pre-college. The Maker Hub is not counting freshmen students at GFU who are still 17 at the beginning of the fall semester as minors.
Minors may only use [[equipment]] under the supervision of the Maker Hub staff. 99% of the time, the only opportunities for minors to use equipment will be during the Maker Camps in the summer, official tours, or school visits to the Maker Hub. At this time, the Maker Hub does not allow non-staff-members to supervise a minor's usage of [[equipment]] unless specifically delegated. High school, middle school, and elementary school students may coordinate with Admissions or the College of Engineering to take a tour of the Maker Hub. In all cases, all minors must deliver a waiver with both their signature and parent/guardian's signature before they are permitted to use any Maker Hub [[equipment]] or [[tools]].
If all criteria has been met, here is the breakdown of equipment available to minors under the proper supervision:
*Ages 8 - 17 (typically elementary, middle, and high school students) may use equipment in [[The Hub]], the [[Prototype Lab]], and [[The Vault]]
*Ages 14 - 17 (typically high school students) additionally may use equipment in the [[Machine Shop]], the [[Welding Shop]], the [[Wood Shop]], and the [[Finishing Room]]
Minors under 8 years old may not use any Maker Hub [[equipment]] or [[tools]]. However, they may tour the Maker Hub.

The Maker Hub's vision for bringing volunteers into the space is for training and mentoring students alongside people who have significant experience in a certain field or craft that is represented in the Maker Hub. Volunteers need to have a heart for teaching and guiding college students. It is a great benefit to our students to have subject matter experts available as a resource for consulting and skill mastery.
