== Strategy #4: Make existing makerspaces more welcoming, inclusive, and human-centered ==

=== Tactic: Consider space layout in design ~~(maybe collaborate with HSE students on this?)~~  ===

~~Improve access~~ *User-friendly layouts**An obvious flow to ~~machine~~ the space that draws you in and leads through the areas**Post easy to read descriptions of the equipment with instructions/reminders/requirements for training at each workstation*Hire a “host” to work in the space - they can welcome users to the lab, help them to find what they need, steer them in the right direction if they need help or other resources, and answer questions*Hold themed workshops in the spaces, especially during off-season or less busy times in the semester**Community building - bring in students that are about to graduate and might want to learn more about the programs offered on that campus.**Have maker nights for female students alone, to welcome them into the space. Include those from outside of the majors that would traditionally use the spaces.**Have maker nights for transfer students to introduce them to the things they can do in that space.**Make sure that sign-ups for training sessions and other workshops are advertised before and during these workshops*User-friendly layouts**An obvious flow to the space that draws you in and leads through the areas**Post easy to read descriptions of the equipment with instructions/reminders/requirements for training at each workstation*Hire a “host” to work in the space - they can welcome users to the lab, help them to find what they need, steer them in the right direction if they need help or other resources, and answer questions*Hold themed workshops in the spaces, especially during off-season or less busy times in the semester**Community building - bring in students that are about to graduate and might want to learn more about the programs offered on that campus.**Have maker nights for female students alone, to welcome them into the space.

=== Tactic 2: Add a host or guide student employee to help/welcome users to the space and find what they need. ===
