Machine Scheduling

Many of the resources at TinkerMill can be scheduled for use by TinkerMill members. All of the scheduling is done through google calendars and is visible by TinkerMill members only. The calendar allows members to reserve time on equipment or rooms.

Scheduling guidelines

• Members should try to schedule their time on the machine as early in advance as possible.
• If a time slot is reserved by a member, it has priority over any other drop in users, even if the previous user is still using a machine.
• If a member who reserved a machine in advance is more than 15 minutes late to their session, they forfeit their priority.
• Any unscheduled time is considered drop in hours where anyone can drop in and use the equipment at their convenience.
