How It Works

Schedule your 1-on-1 session to learn how to use our equipment and get Hacker Lab certified!

Open to all Hacker Lab members, you can now sign up for your own one-on-one session with Hacker Lab instructor John.  When selecting your ticket, simply choose which class you'd like to cover.  John can teach you:

• Shopbot

Please be aware: due to the nature of the 1-on-1 sessions, we have a 48 hour cut-off for scheduling - you must schedule your session at least 48 hours ahead of the session.  Our normal cancellation policy of 48 hours advanced notice also applies.

Important Information:

For all Classes:

• Please make sure to arrive 10-15 minutes early and sign our general release of liability agreement.
• While we have some PPE available, you MUST bring your own mask (N95 or greater), and we suggest you bring your own safety glasses.  Masks must be worn correctly while inside the facility.
• Please wear shop-appropriate clothing: long pants, close-toed shoes, no loose or dangling jewelry, and tie back long hair.  What you wear will likely get dirty.
• Do not come into the Lab if you have a cough, fever, or feel sick in the past 14 days.
