First Day on the Grind
What is my primary goal?
- Make sure people feel welcome!
I really need to know this, NOW
- If it's an emergency/danger, call 911
- Search for it on the Wiki
- Search for it on the AHA Page
- Ask someone around the shop
- 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)
