Step #4: Book a Machine Training Session

In the Canvas module, schedule a 1-on-1 in person training where we will guide you through using the machine and its software to make a sample project. Training sessions are made available 2 weeks in advance and typically take less than 45 minutes to complete.

Step #5: Attend your Machine Training Session

Come into build IT on the appropriate date and time to attend your training. A staff member will teach you in using the machine with the necessary software to create a sample project. All materials are provided for the training session. We just ask that you bring yourself and a willingness to learn.
