==''Maker Ninjas''==

<li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Ninjas.jpg|600px|thumb|left|frame|Scot Ackerman and the 2019 Maker Ninjas -- photo: Sally Asher]] </li>

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 [https://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/Safety_and_Manuals#Training 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
[http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/Safety_and_Manuals#Training 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.

Classes start on August 19. We'll be open a few hours each day after that, subject to the class schedules of our returning Ninjas.

[[File:2020_Spring_modified.jpg|900px]]

With some exceptions, we're closed whenever classes are not in session. The Maker Ninjas (student workers) and faculty members responsible for the operation of the MakerSpace are listed under [[People]], and users are encouraged to contact them.

Users with special need to access the Scot Ackerman MakerSpace should get in touch with the Director or one of the Advisors, who are listed under '''[[People]]'''

We use a LISTSERV mailing list for contacting MakerSpace users, all users are added to it automatically. Instructions to send mail, read archives, or unsubscribe from the LISTSERV are [http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/File:LISTSERV_instructions.doc here].

==Training==

Preventing injury to people (and equipment) is our first priority. To do this, users must demonstrate knowledge and competence. Users can earn a "badge" that certifies their competence. The various badges, and the equipment authorized by that badge, can be found under the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

Software skills are needed to operate the CNC tools, the water jet and laser cutters, and the 3D printers. We offer [[Training Courses]] during the academic year.

Along with the badge, the user's RFID card will be recognized to turn on power to equipment. For example, a user who's completed the requirements for the Metal-1 badge will be allowed to use the drill press, vertical band saw, and some of the portable tools. See [[Machine Access System]] for more information on how the system works.

==For Grant Writers==

We're closed whenever classes are not in session. The Maker Ninjas (student workers) and faculty members responsible for the operation of the MakerSpace are listed under [[People]], and users are encouraged to contact them.

Users with special need to access the Scot Ackerman MakerSpace should get in touch with the Director or one of the Advisors, who are listed under '''[[People]]'''

We use a LISTSERV mailing list for contacting MakerSpace users, all users are added to it automatically. Instructions to send mail, read archives, or unsubscribe from the LISTSERV are [http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/File:LISTSERV_instructions.doc here].

==Training==

Preventing injury to people (and equipment) is our first priority. To do this, users must demonstrate knowledge and competence. Users can earn a "badge" that certifies their competence. The various badges, and the equipment authorized by that badge, can be found under the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

Software skills are needed to operate the CNC tools, the water jet and laser cutters, and the 3D printers. We offer [[Training Courses]] during the academic year.

Along with the badge, the user's RFID card will be recognized to turn on power to equipment. For example, a user who's completed the requirements for the Metal-1 badge will be allowed to use the drill press, vertical band saw, and some of the portable tools. See [[Machine Access System]] for more information on how the system works.

===Maker of the Year===
The 2020 Maker of the Year Award, funded by [http://tulane.edu/sse/news/alumnus-connects-tulane-to-microscopes-history.cfm a generous gift from Lary Walker (G ’76, ’79)] is presented to Brigid Bendig '21
(Public Health).
<div><ul>
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File:Brigid.JPG|400px|thumb|left|Shapes]]
[[File:Brigid2.JPG|400px|thumb|right|Tactile Book]]
</li>

Brigid described her work: "I created a tactile book for use by patients at a pediatric occupational, physical, and speech therapy center here in New Orleans. This project required use of many different systems in the MakerSpace including the Epilog Lasers, the 3D printers, and the sewing machine. Using a wide variety of machines allowed me to incorporate a multitude of textures such as wood, foam, and felt into the book. It includes many different pages as well as three additional boxes that allow patients to familiarize themselves with shapes, letters, and numbers. These include a wide range of tasks such as letter puzzles, shape matching, as well as activities similar to touch math. The activities can also be used so patients to practice more advanced skills such as counting and spelling. I was very excited to be able to present such a great project to the therapy center and none of it would have been possible without the MakerSpace."

</ul>
</div>

===Architecture Laser Cutter===
The School of Architecture's large format laser cutters are available to MakerSpace users. Currently they charge $10/hour ($3 minimum) for machine time; payable with Splash card or check. They have extended operating hours. Go to http://architecture.tulane.edu/dol/reserve-laser to schedule time on one of their three 32"x18" laser cutters. File formats are PDF or Illustrator. As with our Epilog laser cutters, use a line width of 0.001" to vector cut. Be sure to set your document size to their bed size of 32"x18" which is different from the bed size of the Epilogs. Bring your material and files (on a USB drive) to room 104 of Richardson Memorial Hall; student workers are there to help you get set up.

</li>

Brigid described her work: "I created a tactile book for use by patients at a pediatric occupational, physical, and speech therapy center here in New Orleans. This project required use of many different systems in the MakerSpace including the Epilog Lasers, the 3D printers, and the sewing machine. Using a wide variety of machines allowed me to incorporate a multitude of textures such as wood, foam, and felt into the book. It includes many different pages as well as three additional boxes that allow patients to familiarize themselves with shapes, letters, and numbers. These include a wide range of tasks such as letter puzzles, shape matching, as well as activities similar to touch math. The activities can also be used so patients to practice more advanced skills such as counting and spelling. I was very excited to be able to present such a great project to the therapy center and none of it would have been possible without the MakerSpace!

===Architecture Laser Cutter===
The School of Architecture's large format laser cutters are available to MakerSpace users. Currently they charge $10/hour ($3 minimum) for machine time; payable with Splash card or check. They have extended operating hours. Go to http://architecture.tulane.edu/dol/reserve-laser to schedule time on one of their three 32"x18" laser cutters. File formats are PDF or Illustrator. As with our Epilog laser cutters, use a line width of 0.001" to vector cut. Be sure to set your document size to their bed size of 32"x18" which is different from the bed size of the Epilogs. Bring your material and files (on a USB drive) to room 104 of Richardson Memorial Hall; student workers are there to help you get set up.

Brigid described her work: "I created this tactile book for use by patients at a pediatric occupational, physical, and speech therapy center here in New Orleans. This project required use of many different systems in the MakerSpace including the Epilog Lasers, the 3D printers, and the sewing machine. Using a wide variety of machines allowed me to incorporate a multitude of textures such as wood, foam, and felt into the book. It includes many different pages as well as three additional boxes that allow patients to familiarize themselves with shapes, letters, and numbers. These include a wide range of tasks such as letter puzzles, shape matching, as well as activities similar to touch math. The activities can also be used so patients to practice more advanced skills such as counting and spelling. I was very excited to be able to present such a great project to the therapy center and none of it would have been possible without the MakerSpace!

===Maker of the Year===
The 2019 Maker of the Year Award, funded by [http://tulane.edu/sse/news/alumnus-connects-tulane-to-microscopes-history.cfm a generous gift from Lary Walker (G ’76, ’79)] is presented to Lewis Greenstein
(Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Chemistry).

[[File:Greenstein_soft_robotic_actuator.jpg|400px|thumb|left|Soft robotic actuator]]
[[File:IMG_2243.jpg|310px|thumb|right|Cedric Walker presents the plaque, crafted by Prof. Tim Schuler, to Maker of the Year Lewis Greenstein]] </li>

Lewis described his work: "This is a soft, pneumatically powered curling actuator for a specific research purpose, but it could be used in manufacturing or medical applications. I made this actuator by using multi-material 3D printing to create water soluble molds and cores printed in place with insoluble components. These molds were filled with a two-component soft silicone, and the polyvinyl alcohol mold and core were dissolved leaving an inflatable actuator embedded with solid PLA plastic components.

</ul>

===Architecture Laser Cutter===
The School of Architecture's large format laser cutters are available to MakerSpace users. Currently they charge $10/hour ($3 minimum) for machine time; payable with Splash card or check. They have extended operating hours. Go to http://architecture.tulane.edu/dol/reserve-laser to schedule time on one of their three 32"x18" laser cutters. File formats are PDF or Illustrator. As with our Epilog laser cutters, use a line width of 0.001" to vector cut. Be sure to set your document size to their bed size of 32"x18" which is different from the bed size of the Epilogs. Bring your material and files (on a USB drive) to room 104 of Richardson Memorial Hall; student workers are there to help you get set up.

Lewis described his work: "This is a soft, pneumatically powered curling actuator for a specific research purpose, but it could be used in manufacturing or medical applications. I made this actuator by using multi-material 3D printing to create water soluble molds and cores printed in place with insoluble components. These molds were filled with a two-component soft silicone, and the polyvinyl alcohol mold and core were dissolved leaving an inflatable actuator embedded with solid PLA plastic components.

===Architecture Laser Cutter===
The School of Architecture's large format laser cutters are available to MakerSpace users. Currently they charge $10/hour ($3 minimum) for machine time; payable with Splash card or check. They have extended operating hours. Go to http://architecture.tulane.edu/dol/reserve-laser to schedule time on one of their three 32"x18" laser cutters. File formats are PDF or Illustrator. As with our Epilog laser cutters, use a line width of 0.001" to vector cut. Be sure to set your document size to their bed size of 32"x18" which is different from the bed size of the Epilogs. Bring your material and files (on a USB drive) to room 104 of Richardson Memorial Hall; student workers are there to help you get set up.

<li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Ninjas.jpg|600px|thumb|left|frame|Scot Ackerman and the 2019 Maker Ninjas -- photo: Sally Asher]] </li>

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 [https://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/Safety_and_Manuals#Training 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
[http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/Safety_and_Manuals#Training 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.

<li style="display: inline-block;"> [[File:Ninjas.jpg|600px|thumb|left|frame|Scot Ackerman and the 2019 Maker Ninjas -- photo: Sally Asher]] </li>

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 [https://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/Safety_and_Manuals#Training 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
[http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/Safety_and_Manuals#Training 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.

We're closed whenever classes are not in session. The Maker Ninjas (student workers) and faculty members responsible for the operation of the MakerSpace are listed under [[People]], and users are encouraged to contact them.

Users with special need to access the Scot Ackerman MakerSpace should get in touch with the Director or one of the Advisors, who are listed under '''[[People]]'''

We use a LISTSERV mailing list for contacting MakerSpace users, all users are added to it automatically. Instructions to send mail, read archives, or unsubscribe from the LISTSERV are [http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/File:LISTSERV_instructions.doc here].

==Training==

Preventing injury to people (and equipment) is our first priority. To do this, users must demonstrate knowledge and competence. Users can earn a "badge" that certifies their competence. The various badges, and the equipment authorized by that badge, can be found under the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

Software skills are needed to operate the CNC tools, the water jet and laser cutters, and the 3D printers. We offer [[Training Courses]] during the academic year.

Along with the badge, the user's RFID card will be recognized to turn on power to equipment. For example, a user who's completed the requirements for the Metal-1 badge will be allowed to use the drill press, vertical band saw, and some of the portable tools. See [[Machine Access System]] for more information on how the system works.

==For Grant Writers==
The School of Science and Engineering is hosts the University's state-of-the-art Scot Ackerman MakerSpace, located on Engineering Road in the heart of the School's complex. This facility is open and free of charge to all Tulane students, staff, and faculty, and provides access to and training for rapid prototyping machines, including wood shop, and electronics laboratory.

The main floor (2,896 square feet) houses a 30" x 60" water jet cutter, 13 3-D filament printers, 3 laser cutters, a 4-axis CNC milling machine, a CNC lathe, a CNC router, a surface grinder, a fully-equipped machine shop, and a supply storage area.

The wood shop (730 square feet) has a table saw, sliding miter saw, power sanders, band saws, and a drill press in addition to assembly space. A closet holds 3 high-resolution 3-D resin printers.

The Gallery for Ideas, Design and Strategies on the mezzanine (923 square feet) has design and conference space.

The Product Development and Innovation Room (1,026 square feet) has dedicated benches for in-progress projects, a classroom area for tutorials, training and communication, a demonstration area with a Clausing lathe and Bridgeport milling machine, and an electronics fabrication studio.

Multiple staff members are on-hand for 45 hours per week to assist in training and project design, and computers and design software are available on-site for project design and development.

[[File:2020_Spring_modified.jpg|900px]]

We're closed whenever classes are not in session. The Maker Ninjas (student workers) and faculty members responsible for the operation of the MakerSpace are listed under [[People]], and users are encouraged to contact them.

Users with special need to access the Scot Ackerman MakerSpace should get in touch with the Director or one of the Advisors, who are listed under '''[[People]]'''

We use a LISTSERV mailing list for contacting MakerSpace users, all users are added to it automatically. Instructions to send mail, read archives, or unsubscribe from the LISTSERV are [http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/File:LISTSERV_instructions.doc here].

==Training==

Preventing injury to people (and equipment) is our first priority. To do this, users must demonstrate knowledge and competence. Users can earn a "badge" that certifies their competence. The various badges, and the equipment authorized by that badge, can be found under the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

Software skills are needed to operate the CNC tools, the water jet and laser cutters, and the 3D printers. We offer [[Training Courses]] during the academic year.

Along with the badge, the user's RFID card will be recognized to turn on power to equipment. For example, a user who's completed the requirements for the Metal-1 badge will be allowed to use the drill press, vertical band saw, and some of the portable tools. See [[Machine Access System]] for more information on how the system works.

==For Grant Writers==
The School of Science and Engineering is hosts the University's state-of-the-art Scot Ackerman MakerSpace, located on Engineering Road in the heart of the School's complex. This facility is open and free of charge to all Tulane students, staff, and faculty, and provides access to and training for rapid prototyping machines, including wood shop, and electronics laboratory.

The main floor (2,896 square feet) houses a 30" x 60" water jet cutter, 13 3-D filament printers, 3 laser cutters, a 4-axis CNC milling machine, a CNC lathe, a CNC router, a surface grinder, a fully-equipped machine shop, and a supply storage area.

The wood shop (730 square feet) has a table saw, sliding miter saw, power sanders, band saws, and a drill press in addition to assembly space. A closet holds 3 high-resolution 3-D resin printers.

The Gallery for Ideas, Design and Strategies on the mezzanine (923 square feet) has design and conference space.

The Product Development and Innovation Room (1,026 square feet) has dedicated benches for in-progress projects, a classroom area for tutorials, training and communication, a demonstration area with a Clausing lathe and Bridgeport milling machine, and an electronics fabrication studio.

Multiple staff members are on-hand for 45 hours per week to assist in training and project design, and computers and design software are available on-site for project design and development.

We plan to soon be engaged in a cooperative effort to fabricate a '''lot''' of plastic face shields on our laser cutters. All three laser cutters will be use. So it's possible, even likely, that laser cutters won't be available when clients would like to use them. Starting March 23: We will open on a limited basis, determined by the availability of our student workers

We're closed whenever classes are not in session. The Maker Ninjas (student workers) and faculty members responsible for the operation of the MakerSpace are listed under [[People]], and users are encouraged to contact them.

Users with special need to access the Scot Ackerman MakerSpace should get in touch with the Director or one of the Advisors, who are listed under '''[[People]]'''

We use a LISTSERV mailing list for contacting MakerSpace users, all users are added to it automatically. Instructions to send mail, read archives, or unsubscribe from the LISTSERV are [http://makerspace.tulane.edu/index.php/File:LISTSERV_instructions.doc here].

==Training==

Preventing injury to people (and equipment) is our first priority. To do this, users must demonstrate knowledge and competence. Users can earn a "badge" that certifies their competence. The various badges, and the equipment authorized by that badge, can be found under the [[Safety and Manuals]] section.

Software skills are needed to operate the CNC tools, the water jet and laser cutters, and the 3D printers. We offer [[Training Courses]] during the academic year.

Along with the badge, the user's RFID card will be recognized to turn on power to equipment. For example, a user who's completed the requirements for the Metal-1 badge will be allowed to use the drill press, vertical band saw, and some of the portable tools. See [[Machine Access System]] for more information on how the system works.

==For Grant Writers==
