Line 18: − The Maker Hub runs a very lean staff, and their time needs to be protected just like any other employee at GFU. If you don't have time to train and learn the skills necessary to complete your project, the Maker Hub staff probably doesn't have the time to do it for you either.+ − −
→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.
