| + | Perhaps you'd like to teach a soldering, welding, or sewing class? That's awesome, and a big part of what keeps the space vibrant and successful. If you want to teach a class to members only, that's easy and simple. However, you can also open up your class to the public, allowing non-members into the space to see what we're all about. Teaching a structured class to non-members is an excellent opportunity for them to find out we exist and convert them into members so that they can come back and keep making after the class is over. | ||

| + | If you want to teach a class that is open to the public, we just ask that you observe a few rules: | ||
| + | * You must propose your class to the BOD ahead of time and get approval in writing before running it. You can email the BOD at info@milwaukeemakerspace.org. We don't want to cramp your style, just make sure that the class is safe and appropriate for all the students. Depending on the activity and the inherent hazards within, you may have to produce a formal lesson and safety plan. | ||
| + | * The usual limits about 2 guests per member do not apply. You can have as many students as you wish. | ||
| + | * It is your responsibility to make sure that ALL GUESTS sign sign the space' | ||
| + | * Your students must be under direct supervision of you, or a fellow instructor at all times. | ||
| + | * You may require that students make a donation to MMS or a specific area in order to participate in the class, but it is up to you. | ||
