Open Maker Lab lets you use Maker Lab equipment after completing Maker Lab 101 and getting certified.
Open Maker Lab is the next step for those who have completed Maker Lab 101 and are eager to start using the Maker Lab equipment independently. This course provides participants with hands-on access to the tools and resources they have been trained on, allowing them to bring their creative projects to life. Prior to registration, you must have obtained the required Maker Lab certificate and successfully completed Maker Lab 101. The Open Maker Lab offers a supportive environment for experimentation, innovation, and skill enhancement. Join us to turn your ideas into reality and further your Maker Lab experience!
*Each piece of Maker Lab equipment can be reserved individually. Although the reservation system shows a capacity of 9 attendees, this actually represents one reservation slot for each piece of Maker Lab equipment available. Equipment is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If two customers attempt to reserve the same piece of equipment, the second customer will be notified and given the opportunity to register for another available slot on a different day.
