===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.
