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 right 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)
