The makers' agreement
The Makers Lab is an inclusive space, open to all UCSF community members. To foster a welcoming community we ask that you do the following in both the physical and virtual spaces:
- Break the ice: Introduce yourself to other makers in the space. You never know who you'll meet and what you'll learn.
- Care and share: Respect the space and each other. Refrain from eating in the lab and clean up after yourself. Report broken equipment or tools.
- Fail (at least a little): We’re here to create and experiment. Ask questions if you’re not sure how something works and take your time.
- Boldly go where no one has gone before. Be innovative. Respect copyright, patent, and trademark law and refrain from making dangerous or illegal items.
Any form of behavior to exclude, intimidate, or cause discomfort is a violation of our values. Makers Lab patrons should also refer to and follow the UCSF Library Conduct Policy. Report any violations of our values or policies to a Makers Lab staff member.
