There are two main pathways to begin work in the Wet Lab Makerspace. Pathway 1 is for those who intend principally to take WLM workshops without conducting an independent project. Pathway 2 is for those who intend to conduct an independent project. The first step for both pathways is to attend an orientation. These pathways are inter-related. You may want to take some workshops to support the skills you need to complete a project. A workshop activity may spark the idea for a project of your own!
