Make time before or during your class/event to give first time visitors a tour. Show our visitors around the makerspace, starting with YOUR favorite shop. People that take a class for the first time and only stay in one room won't really know what they're missing.
Ask about their interests and focus on those areas of the makerspace. Time may be limited or they may be tired after an intense class.
Let your passion for your shop and the makerspace shine
Emphasize both the tools AND the community
Pull out your phone and show them a bit around Slack. The #show-us-what-you-got channel is very inspiring
Try not to intimidate. Not everyone is a pro.
If they are a pro, let them know how pros use the makerspace and that is part of our model
Don't know much? Focus on what you do and let the website and notions do the rest!
Give them our [email protected] or [email protected] if they have follow-up questions
Leave them with the NEXT STEP: portal.nova-labs.org/tour << —- Digital Information Session
