Why is training important?

Trainings unlock access to various areas and tools within Texas Inventionworks. Many of our machines can be dangerous to use without proper training. Other trainings are designed to make your use of our tools easy and hassle free. In either case, trainings are required before you can use tools.

How do I get trained?

Most of our tools and equipment have both an online and in-person training element attached to them. The online trainings in this Canvas course cover the basics and safety procedures for each tool and equipment. Due to the high demand of student trainings we recommend you plan ahead and start your trainings early for any equipment you may need for assignments due later in the semester.

Here are the steps to get trained:

  • Step 1: Click on Culture & Community below and complete the module quiz to unlock the other trainings
  • Step 2: Click the training module you are interested in from the list below. You must pass the online training quiz before you can attend any in-person trainings. 
  • Step 3: Once you complete the training module, you will be directed to a page with directions on how to attend or sign-up for an in-person training with that tool.
