== Basic Use & Safety Classes ==
BUS classes introduce you to safely and properly operating our equipment. Even if you have previous experience, there are many specifics to our machines you should know before using. Members may be held responsible for damage caused by improper usage. Laser and CNC Router classes are required for certification.

=== Teach a Class or Workshop! ==
Part of FCFL's mission is to share knowledge and promote growth. A big part of that means teaching classes! Members, please [https://trello.com/c/LwEryCJT/80-about-this-board-please-read add your workshop ideas and/or sign up to teach on our Trello board].
* For paid classes and workshops, FCFL will collect 20% minimum and the rest is yours.
* Workshops can be set to any date, pace, or frequency you wish.
* Teachers who ''volunteer'' and schedule 8 or more classes per year get a '''free storage bin for the whole year'''.
** We encourage scheduling the classes at regular intervals. E.G. 12 classes, once a month, every third Friday.
** The classes must take in a minimum of $240 per year and the teacher receives no income from the class.
 
=== For teachers - How to setup a class/workshop ===
# Decide whether it's a recurring class, a single standalone workshop, or multi-day bootcamp.
# Come up with a lesson plan, broken into sessions if applicable.
# Determine how long each class session is likely to take. Please add plenty of buffer and/or beta test!
# Schedule a date/time for all sessions.
# Decide the minimum (1 for BUS classes) and maximum number of students.
# Determine what you want to charge per member.
# Reach out to the people managing (Meetup & civicrm... it's the Board atm) with your class/workshop & schedule and we'll figure out managing the class and onboarding (Meetup scheduling, class registrations, etc).
