Another option is to have the membership only partially subsidized, so at least they have a tiny bit of skin in the game or are at least serious.
Line 68 ⟶ 129:
Also thinking that if there are multiple residents at one time, their chosen tools should ideally not overlap, ie: if one person is focused on the laser then another should be focused on 3D printing, so as not to clog up the members' ability to maximize their use of these tools during the resident's stay. Of course if they organically morph onto another tool that is fine.

HOW DO SPONSORED MEMBERSHIPS WORK?
You apply for a sponsored membership [https://forms.gle/DqrX8vnDMRxgifAs7 through this form]. Applying is easy. All you have to do is tell a little but about yourself and what you want to work on. If you give us permission, we might highlight your story on our website, and social media to supercharge our fundraising effort at GlobalGiving.org.
Once sponsored, we’ll work with the highlighted members to submit project updates to the sponsors periodically. Otherwise, our teachers and facilitators will update sponsors with general updates about sponsored members who prefer to remain anonymous. Submitting this along with data about our impact keeps us in good standing at GlobalGiving.org.
WHEN DOES MY SPONSORED MEMBERSHIP BEGIN?
Applicants are awarded first come first served (if you have a deadline, please indicate it in your application and it will be considered). We will notify you when your turn is coming up! When we receive enough funds to cover your membership for two months, we’ll send you an email to confirm and your sponsored membership starts right away!
HOW LONG DOES MY SPONSORED MEMBERSHIP LAST?
Sponsored memberships last for two months; no more, no less. We want you to have enough time to complete some projects, but can’t fund you forever, unfortunately. If we raise a lot of money — through corporate sponsorship, for example — we’ll revisit this 🤞
Again...
None of this would be possible without the support of our fiscal sponsor, e-NABLE. Thank you, e-NABLE!!!
