What is the material usage policy in the Makers Studio?
The material in the Makers Studio is free to the Missouri S&T campus as long as it is being used for personal or class projects (we will NOT fund your Etsy store or any commercial business). While this material is free we do have limits and can not support the whole campus using all of the material every month. We also supply what we get. If there is a material you would like to use that we do not have, you will have to source it on your own. This is a privilege that we have and may have to limit if we find our resources are being used up faster than we can keep them stocked.
