Book a Session

During a One-on-One appointment, you'll get an-hour long session with a skilled Makerspace Team Member. These are perfect for:

• Basic instruction: Get comfortable with any piece of Makerspace equipment and software.
• Learning specific skills: Embroider a name on a baby blanket, install a zipper using a sewing machine or explore advanced features in Tinkercad 3D Design.
• Completing a project: Get assistance using equipment like Cricut and the heat press to make a custom t-shirt. 

Here's what you can expect:

• Appointments last up to 1 hour.
• AAPLD cardholders get 3 appointments per month, all others cardholders get 1 per month.
• Appointments may be scheduled with 48 hours notice and up to 2 weeks in advance.
• Come prepared by bringing any materials or information needed for your project. Staff can help you plan when scheduling.

A few things to keep in mind:

• One-on-One sessions are not for: In-depth private tutoring or completing your project for you.
• Missed appointments: We hold appointments for 15 minutes. Late arrivals won't extend the session. No-shows count towards your monthly limit.

Once you've finished your One-on-One training session and feel confident working independently with the equipment, you're ready to make your own reservations!
