Step 1: Initial Project Consultation (~10 mins - 1 hr)

• During our operating hours, come to the Front Desk, or join our Discord Server and hop on the Front Desk channel.
• The Front Desk will connect you with an available Peer Mentor and help you start a consultation.
• You may have to provide information about material, purpose, design etc. Keep that information handy before you get in a consultation. Hint: Volunteering, tours and learning to use equipment are all projects.
• From the consultation you should get project viability, resource list, learning resources, project workflow etc. Hint: Take notes!

Step 2: Project Proposal (~10 mins)

• Create a project proposal on our Project Management System.
• Make sure to type in the resources based on your initial consultation. 
• Proposals are not automatically approved! You need to hop on Discord in order to get them approved by a Peer Mentor. Hint: It is best to get this done during Step 1.

Step 3: Finish Initial Agreements Quizzes (~10 mins - 30 mins)

• Take the quizzes based on your project in the Project Management System. Hint: You can click on the quizzes in the Project Management System to jump to the quiz. You have to accept the badges for them to be complete.

Step 4: Further Consultations (~1 hr - 3 hrs)

• Depending on the nature of the project there might be multiple subsequent consultations. These could be on Discord or in-person (decided by Peer Mentor start in Discord) at the Center. Hint: Always take notes! Share what you have discussed with the last Peer Mentor. Simple web searches can often solve a lot of problems; save the difficult questions for the Peer Mentors.
• Ask the Peer Mentor if you are ready for a Reservation.

Step 5: Reservation (~10 mins)

• File a Reservation on our Project Management System.
• Reservation are not automatically approved! You need to hop on Discord in order to get them approved by a Peer Mentor. Hint: It is best to get this done during Step 4.
• Show up for you reservation on time. Hint: Make sure to have your PPE!
