Electronics pricing policy

tori edited this page Nov 5, 2024 · 1 revision

The Seattle Makers electronics lab is set up to ensure that you can access whatever you need for a project as immediately as possible, and part of achieving that is by having a minimum of items be strictly for purchase, allowing members to grab what they need for a project when they need it without having to worry about going through the website to use it. However, we still have to buy the stuff.

Any items that stay in the lab or are borrowed and returned in a timely fashion do not have to be purchased to be used.

If you would like to purchase items for use outside the makerspace (e.g., for teaching), please contact Sam K.
