Maker Ninjas

  • Scot Ackerman and the 2019 Maker Ninjas
  • The Scot Ackerman MakerSpace is run by student workers. We call them Maker Ninjas. They are helpful and knowledgeable, but their first obligation is to ensure safe operation of the MakerSpace. In the past, frequent users of the MakerSpace were identified by current Ninjas and were invited to apply for a position as a new Maker Ninja. To be considered for hiring, a user must first demonstrate broad basic competencies by completing the requirements for these credentials:

    • Digital-1
    • Wood-1
    • Metal-1
    • Metal-2
    • Electronics

    This will allow use of all tools in the main shop area and Mezzanine, except for the water jet cutter, CNC Lathe and CNC Mill. All prospective Ninja candidates are interviewed, and their project portfolios are reviewed. During their first year of work as a Ninja, the following additional competencies must be earned in order to continue as a Ninja in the second year:

    • Digital-2
    • Either Wood-2 or [CNC-Lathe and CNC-Mill]
    • Water Jet.

    Newly hired Ninjas start at a salary of $10.00 per hour. After satisfactorily working for two semesters, their pay will increase by $1.00 per hour. Ninjas who have completed all of the trainings will receive an additional $1.00 per hour, so that a fully trained Ninja with at least 2 semesters of experience will earn $12.00 per hour. The 2019-20 Maker Ninjas are: Au, Timothy tau@tulane.edu Belden, Sam sbelden1@tulane.edu Bush, Meghan mbush7@tulane.edu Culp, Caroline cculp@tulane.edu Davis, Claire cdavis44@tulane.edu Duncan, Addie aduncan3@tulane.edu Grieshop, Cole cgriesho@tulane.edu Greenstein, Lewis lgreenstein@tulane.edu Johnson, Robert rjohnson1@tulane.edu Lompado, Elena Elompado@tulane.edu Lucia, Dylan dlucia1@tulane.edu Mills, Rae smills5@tulane.edu Mirnics, Marco mmirnics@tulane.edu O'Connor, Mason moconnor1@tulane.edu Pimenta, Ian ipimenta@tulane.edu Rose, Victoria vrose@tulane.edu Rubinstein, Kyra krubinstein@tulane.edu Sajjadi, Afsheen asajjadi@tulane.edu
