Members must be at least 16 years of age. We offer super affordable student memberships :) Parents/guardians are required to complete your membership waiver if you are under 19 years.
Yes! As long as you have a membership and they are at least 8 years old, you can bring kids up to the age of 15 for free, but they must be accompanied by an adult at all times and are not permitted to operate the equipment unassisted.
Members must undertake a safety orientation session (free as part of membership) and tool-specific training before you can access equipment. See the Join Page on our website. Tidy lab = happy lab. Members are expected to clean the workspace after use and put reusable materials and tools back to their original location. What you bring in, you bring out. There is no storage space at AVM yet, but we hope to have some space to store projects soon.
Late membership cancellation fee: Memberships cancelled after payments have been processed, will be subject to a 25% cancellation fee.
That's awesome you're at this point! While we're not set up for commercial production, email us at info@albernimakerspace.ca for scaling options. We're here to help.
Yes, you can, but only one guest per member.
At this time, no. However, we are hoping to have a small amount of storage for member projects in the near future.
