Interested in gaining a deeper understanding of our tools? Although formal trainings are not required to use tools and machines in the space, we offer detailed information and practice one to one with a mentor. Mentors will lead training sessions for various tools throughout the semester. This includes operation of the laser cutters, craft station, electronics station, and wood shop tools. A more involved training system is in place for learning the CNC and Tormach machines. 

If you wish to use a tool for a specific projects, you can ask a mentor on shift to walk you through using it. Attending and completing trainings on tools is encouraged for those interested in becoming a mentor at the AMS. 

Training sessions will be posted in our calendar linked below. Please come to the AMS at least 5 minutes before the training session is scheduled to start so we can check you in for attendance. If you have questions regarding our training system, please contact us or come chat with a mentor!
