Maker Ninjas
The 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 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].
The 2018-19 Maker Ninjas are:
