Welcome to MakeHaven — your first month
You should have just scheduled your Site Orientation — that session is where you get your key and 24/7 access (bring a photo ID). Haven't booked it yet, or skipped it as part of a group? Schedule it here.
While you wait for your Site Orientation, here's how members get the most out of their first month:
1. Pick your first badge
Badges unlock tools. Take the short quiz for a tool you care about, then a facilitator checks you out in person.
3D Printing Laser Cutting Sewing All badges
2. Find a project to make
Not sure what to build first? Browse member projects for ideas and instructions.
3. Explore the equipment
See everything the space has, by area.
4. Borrow tools to take home
The Lending Library lets you take tools home. Put a payment method on file and you're set.
5. Meet the community
- Join the member Slack — where members ask questions and share work.
- Come to the next Second Sundays member meetup — check the events calendar.
- Invite someone in your household (half-price membership) or refer a friend (referral credit).
