== Options and Ideas ==

We expect to use the mezzanine area as a social space with a kitchen, tables and chairs, sofas, etc. The kitchen will be in the area under the window by the door from the main workshop. The social space will occupy both rooms of the mezzanine.

There have been various discussions about the kitchen and 3 main ideas proposed:

1. Remove stud wall entirely, then fit kitchen along exterior wall

2. Remove stud wall to worktop height or bar height, fit a worktop on top of it. Fit kitchen along exterior wall, optionally with cupboards underneath worktop.

3. Leave stud wall in place, and fit kitchen on the far side of it, along both exterior and stud walls. Use the 'main workshop' side of the stud wall as shelving or display case.

In all cases we can't remove the vertical beam next to the stud wall. We also need to leave a clear passage to the workshop door as this is a fire exit from these mezzanine rooms.

Things to bear in mind:

* floor layout of tables, chairs, sofas and numbers of each of these
* what we want in the kitchen (fridge, microwave, sink, kettle, cupboards for mugs, plates, stuff; optionally dishwasher, ???)
* what else we might want in a social space (magazine racks? showcase of "made in Makespace" items? art?)
* Sink and drainer
* Dishwasher, Oven, Microwave, Fridge
* Work Surface
* Counter

CamWoolf: /* Attendees */

= Dates =
'''This meeting:''' Sunday 3rd Feb 2013 
'''Next meeting:''' Sunday 17th Feb 2013 @ 10:00am

= Aim =
The possibility of a maker club for members and their children had been discussed on the group list and this was the first face to face for a more detailed discussion. The aim of this meeting was to start to build a straw man for how this group could be structured, run, funded and what we could do.

= Attendees =
Meg W 
Chris V 
Steve U 
Brian C 

= Minutes =
It was a great initial discussion but we ended up with a lot of questions that we'll need to answer. Some of these are a bit brief but we covered a lot and this is a first pass. We grouped the discussion points into the following:
 

'''What'''
*Let’s have fun
 

'''Who'''
*Initially members and their kids (<18)
*Potential extension to guests and their kids
 

'''Where'''
*Classroom initially, possibly making use of the kitchen and maybe demonstrating some of the equipment in the workshop ?
 

'''When'''
*Sunday mornings: 10-12
*Weekly to enable access for as many as possible, as people will be away and unable to attend every week
 

'''Rules'''
*We should have a committee of at least 3 members to organise and administer the club
*We should have a set of club rules, on top of the Makespace membership rules
*Parents are required to attend, it won't be possible to drop of kids and collect them later
*Full control of children is required as Makespace has potentially dangerous equipment
*Number of kids dependent on behaviour, typically up to 2 as we already have a majority of parents with 2
*Three strikes rule on behaviour, three bad behaviour instances and the child will not be permitted back
*Repeated ‘guests’ need to consider membership
*A committee member should attend each day, be there 15 mins early and organise refreshments and projects plus ensure clear up afterwards.
 

'''Potential Projects'''
We need to have some level of structure to the sessions, especially at the start, after that attendees may want to do their own things. Some project ideas could be:
*Raspberry Pi
*Basic skills
**Soldering
*Standard kits e.g. Adafruit
*Chain reaction
*Competitions
**Catapults
**Cars
**Robots
*Laser cutter demo
*3D print demo
*Educational component – e.g. what is this resistor doing?
*Sewing
 

'''Legal'''
*What to do to set the club up?
*What do we need to get access?
*Membership for Chris and Meg
*Risk assessments – what needs to be done?
*Weekly register
*Do we need at least one founder in attendance?
 

'''Funding'''
*Initial investment
**Makespace ?
**Founding members?
*Weekly fees
**£2 each non member to cover refreshments and consumables
 

'''Other'''
*Communication – who, when, how?
*Wiki page, web page, twitter, calendar, meetup pages
*Founding families
*Outreach targets ?
*Sources for kits and spares
*Refreshments: Squash, snacks
*Are two members needed for each club event so that one can escort non members through the space if required?
*Future coordination with other groups?
*Committee meetings – how frequently? Monthly initially
*How many people interested?
*Who will actively attend?
*Next meeting end of Feb
 
'''Links''' 
Some links that could have useful information for us going forward:
*Hacker scouts for kids
*Instructables
*Lego
*Engineering faculty days – Maria Kettle
*Adafruit
*Proto pic
*Gates foundation robotics club - Meg
 
= Actions =
Book the next meeting in a couple of weeks and create a Meetup for it - '''Steve U''' 
Start separate discussions on the Google group for the areas that need to be clarified - '''Steve U''' 
Talk to Laura about the legal elements - '''Steve U''' 
Contact details for Maria Kettle at Engineering Faculty - '''Meg W'''

What to do if stuff goes wrong

2019-06-14T14:36:02Z

CamWoolf:

Here's some notes on what to do if things go wrong in Makespace!

'''If the fire alarm goes off:'''
* The university security office will automatically be called, and if we don't cancel the alarm pronto they will call the fire brigade. If this happens and it's a false alarm, you will need to call the security office immediately. (We've not done this so not entirely sure of protocol!)

'''If the broadband stops working:'''
* Get a trusted member to reset the router in the back office/store room, or if this doesn't work, email management@ makespace.org and ask them to login to the router, check it, and if necessary call BT.

'''If you see something unsafe or inappropriate which concerns you in any way:'''

* If you feel able to tell whoever is involved to stop it, do so! This is strongly recommended

* email management@ makespace.org and let them know

'''If there is any kind of accident:'''

* deal with it appropriately straight away!

* then email management@ makespace.org and let them know

'''If something is broken:'''

* email the google group if it's not critical infrastructure

* email management@ makespace.org if it is critical and needs urgent fixing! (eg access control breaks, heating explodes, water pours through ceiling, laser cutter goes bang)

'''If you lose your access token:'''

* email management@ makespace.org immediately or speak to a Director or Admin.
