We encourage you to bring guests and any minor children to the space. As described in the governing documents guests may attend any Open Hack to freely use the tools available. Any guests who wish to accompany you to the space during non-public hours may do so, but are not allowed to use any tooling or equipment stored at the EMS shop (see GD’s for specific policy). Minor children may accompany a parent to the shop to use the tools/equipment as long as they have a current minor waiver on file with the Board Secretary AND they are in direct supervision by a parent. Minors are not permitted to use the shop or its tooling unsupervised. Anyone found in violation of these policies may lose member privileges as outlined in the governing documents. |

You will find work benches in the shop are labeled "ZERO OBJECT SPACE." This is a helpful reminder for you to, upon finishing an exciting project, to remove 'ALL' of your scrap, tools, wire, parts, etc... When members work on a projects at EMS it is understandable that you will have many objects on various benches but when you leave these space's must be reverted to a ZOS. |

- Be excellent to each other
Dues

Parking
We strive to be a community shop and one way to build community is to respect our neighbors and their parking spaces. When using the EMS shop we ask that you park in the spaces located in front on the big windows. Please don't block the big roll up door - its our neighbor's and they need access.

Most tools are EMS owned and are free to use by members anytime and visitors during Open Hack nights. Some tools require training before use, or have specific instructions - in these cases you should find a link from the inventory page to a wiki page with more details.
