 When you consider the amount of one-on-one instruction time and the time the instructors take to prepare each session, we think this is actually a pretty solid deal.  Its not for everyone though, we'll admit.   When you consider the amount of one-on-one instruction time and the time the instructors take to prepare each session, we think this is actually a pretty solid deal.  Its not for everyone though, we'll admit.

 +===I don't see welding.  Where's the welding?!===
 +If a tool is available at the makerspace, we'll be teaching it as part of this course.  LMN's welding area is very likely to be up and running by the time this course happens and if it is, we'll adjust the schedule to include a session on the basics of welding.

 +===I've never used any of these tools.  Am I going to be overwhelmed?  Are there prerequisites?!===
 +All we expect you to know is very basic computer skills. (How to save / open a file, what the mouse is, etc).  Overall, you're going to be fine!  We've designed the course to start from the ground up.  Don't worry.
