Welcome to the Maker Lab Camino Training!

Here you will find resources for Maker Lab training. The Maker Lab has 3 main categories of equipment: Basic Tools, Power Tools, and Specialty Tools. All users must complete at least Basic Training in order to use the Maker Lab.

Each training has its own Module for you to complete that you can find by navigating to the Modules section. Each training module consists of:

Training packet for you to read
Video(s) for you to watch
Quiz
In-Person Demonstration Assignment (equipment dependent)
Additional resources (equipment dependent)
FAQ discussion

Important Note: In order to schedule an in-person demonstration (via the 'Reserve an Appointment Slot' section), complete and review ALL the sections within the training module, including the Quiz. For example, for the In-person tour for Basic Training, complete the Basic Training module content beforehand.

After completing the Basic Training Module, you can then pick and choose additional equipment training modules based on your need. You can find our full list of equipment on our Tools and Equipment page on the Maker Lab website.

Note: The Maker Lab also offers Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Battery Training, which is required for any University project working with LiPo batteries. Please complete our Lithium Polymer Battery Training Module as needed. Basic Training is not required in order to complete LiPo Battery Training.

Meet our Maker Lab Community:

Maker Lab TAs supervise Open Hours and can oversee the In-Person Demonstrations for training.

Maker Lab Coaches assist fellow Makers with questions regarding Maker Lab equipment during Open Hours.

All of the Maker Lab TAs are certified in Basic Tools, 3D Printer, and Laser Cutter. This table lists which ML community members are also certified in Power Tools and Specialty Tools. Even if you have completed training, the Maker Lab TA also has to be certified on that equipment in order for you to use it during their hours.

FAQ:

How do I share my amazing suggestions and feedback that could improve the Maker Lab?

Click here to share your idea!

Who do I contact if I have any questions about the Maker Lab training?

If you are an SCU student/staff/faculty and have any questions about the training materials and process, contact Jiayi at jwang21@scu.edu.

If you want to schedule an in-person demonstration but none of the training slots work with your schedule, also contact Jiayi at jwang21@scu.edu.

The best way to schedule a training session with Jiayi is to find 2-5 other classmates/peers/friends who would also like to get trained, and request a particular day/time.

Who do I contact if I am SCU Faculty/Staff and want to use the Maker Lab for training or class purposes?

Contact Christopher Kitts at ckitts@scu.edu
