Best Practices

Never use any equipment you are unfamiliar with. If you have a question, ask! Use recycled, scrap and partially used materials when possible. Notify library staff of any accidents or improperly functioning equipment. Leave your workstation cleaner than how you found it. Embrace failure! Prototyping is an iterative process.
