→Minors, High School, and Middle/Elementary School Students
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]].

The Maker Hub is exploring during-semester outreach programs for minors; namely, special middle/high school programs or homeschooling groups that are seeking access to the Maker Hub during GFU's fall or spring semester. These outreach programs will need to follow a specific curriculum, follow a specific schedule, obtain the necessary staffing, receive proper training for the activities they will perform, and operate in a manner that minimally impacts any GFU academic work in the Maker Hub. The Maker Hub staff will administer training to the group teachers who will, in turn, conduct the training and curriculum for the students. Group teachers and students must comply with the same principles that all Maker Hub users observe: Safety First, Reset the Space, Be Professional. The Maker Hub staff reserves the right to terminate any outreach program that does not comply with the [[3 commandments]].
The following are the necessary teacher/student ratios by facility:
*1:2 for [[Machine Shop]], [[Wood Shop]], [[Welding Shop]], [[PCB Lab]], or [[Finishing Room]]
*1:5 for [[Prototype Lab]] or [[The Vault]]
*1:10 for [[The Hub]]
*1:15 for tool-usage-only, [[Computer Lab]], or [[Meeting Rooms]]
If all criteria has been met, here is the breakdown of equipment available to minors under the proper supervision:
