About MakerLab Badges & Equipment Reservations
Learn how to use high tech equipment independently in a 2 hour (or less) training appointment. Once you earn the badge, you may reserve the equipment for your own use for up to 2 hours at a time.
In order to use the equipment, we require you to make both a Badging Appointment and an Equipment Reservation to complete the required training on how to use the equipment to earn the badge.
At that appointment all customers will be required to submit a form agreeing to CRRL’s MakerLab Agreement, MakerLab Guidelines for Use and Safety and Computer Use Policy before earning the badge and scheduling any future equipment reservations.
IdeaSpace is the only location offering MakerLab badging appointments and equipment reservations as MakerLabs in the branches are closed at this time.
To get started: visit the MakerLab Badging Appointment portal.
After you've been badged: Make an Equipment Reservation.
