Training & Workshops

Trainings for the Makerspace equipment is provided in a hybrid format to ensure your safety and basic knowledge to use the equipment.

Our Courses typically include two parts for most equipment:

  1. Online Safety & Basic Use course on Canvas
  2. In-person assessment with a Makerspace staff member

Once the in-person assessment is complete, you will be provided access by Makerspace staff through your Rutgers ID card.
