− | 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.

| The Maker Hub can be made available to in-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 events must first be approved by the Maker Hub Manager. 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 Maker Hub can be made available to in-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.
