First Day on the Grind

What is my primary goal?

• Make sure people feel welcome!

General steps to figuring out how to do something

• If it's an emergency/danger, call 911
• Search for it on the Wiki (Good job!)
• Search for it on the AHA Website
• Ask someone around the shop.
• Send an email to the mailing list, or if you really need to know now
  • Check out the contact list behind the front desk to call ; )

Where is all the physical stuff?

• Tour AHA! See if you can find all these things:
  • Safety Kits/First Aid!
  • Membership/Liability Forms
  • Soldering irons in the Electronics Section
  • Sewing machines in the Craft area
  • A Power Drill in a bin in the Power Tools section
  • 3D Printer and LASER Cutting Prototyping Tools
  • Dishes and Paper Towels in the Kitchen/Cleaning Supplies Area
  • Extra Paper in the Office Supplies Filing Cabinets
• Don't worry if you can't find all these things on your first day  : )

Where are all the documents, events, online stuff?

• AHA Website
• AHA Wiki
• AHA Public Mailing List
• AHA Members Mailing List (You should be added to this by a member)
• AHA Staff Mailing List (You should be added to this by another staff)

To be categorized

• difference between members and non members/how to lock up
• its okay to be on your computer, but MUST be aware of people coming in and out and greeting them asap.
• what happens when internet goes out
• what do I do if I don't know the answer and no one else is around
• list of general contacts for resources (josh-management and rental. Tyler-3d printer. Dana-kids camps etc etc)
• knowing where equipment is and house supplies. (Paper towels, cleaning supplies etc)
• contact information is a plus:
• who has 24/7 access so you do not have to worry about kicking people out
• who is in charge of upcoming classes, say for instance a member/nonmember is wanting to take intro to soldering, and they have a few questions but you do not know, who they should contact that's teaching that class (if that makes sense)
