This is a 30-minute session where a staff member will show you around the facility, answer any questions you may have, and explain important procedures and safety information. You can begin using the Makerspace immediately after your Orientation appointment! (Although you will also need a training appointment to use equipment.)
Orientations are given at 15 minutes past the hour every hour we are open. You do not need an appointment for an Orientation. Please check in at the front desk when you arrive.

Get Trained on Machines
The KCI Makerspace equipment is industry-grade, which means that it is complicated and dangerous to use without proper training. Even a small mistake can cause tens-of-thousands of dollars of damage, or significant injuries to you and other people in the space. You must be trained and certified by a staff member in order to be allowed to use a piece of equipment. Once you complete basic trainings, you will have access to advanced training calendars. Basic trainings cost 2 credits and advanced trainings cost 3 or 4 credits.
Reservations are required for ALL makerspace trainings!
