How it Works
1. Sign our waiver
Fill out the waiver so we can get you into the system and keep everyone safe.
2. Brief orientation
We’ll show you how the space works, where to find things, and how to get help. You’ll leave knowing the norms and safety basics.
3. Choose your first tool path
If you don't already have a project in mind, we recommend picking one beginner-friendly path. We’ll get you started, then you’ll demonstrate safe use. From there, you can branch into new projects.
