 Children are only allowed to be left unattended in the Clean Room, the Library area, and the Clean Classroom area. If adults are in the Clean Classroom trying to work, children may not be left there unless they can demonstrate the ability to not be disruptive to the adult. We politely ask adults wishing to work (non-maker related activities) that require concentration and quiet to move to the Clean Classroom if children are present in the Cleanroom. Children cannot be left unattended in industrial areas of the shop.  Children are only allowed to be left unattended in the Clean Room, the Library area, and the Clean Classroom area.

-Please note, this policy only addresses leaving children unattended in the shop. This is NOT a policy on allowing children to use tools in the shop. Children using tools must be trained by area captains and under direct supervision of their guardian while using tools. Area captains reserve the right to set age restrictions on tools in their area. +Please note, this policy only addresses leaving children unattended in the shop. This is NOT a policy on allowing children to use tools in the shop. Like any guest, children using tools must be trained by an area captain or designee and they must also be supervised.
  
 Additionally, this policy provides guidelines for leaving children unattended in the shop. Guardian’s should strongly consider how long they plan to be in the shop with their children unattended. Leaving them in the clean room, even entertained, while you work in the shop all day is not fair to that child. If you plan to be in the shop for an extended period, please consider obtaining childcare.  Additionally, this policy provides guidelines for leaving children unattended in the shop.

 If using tools, both the non-member child and the parent must be checked off on the tool, and use it together.  Red tools are member-only, and require a more lengthy training. These are the more tricky/dangerous tools, and expensive to fix if used incorrectly.  To use them, the parent would become a member, and both parent and child would go through the training, and use it together.  If using tools, both the non-member child and the parent must be checked off on the tool, and use it together.  Red tools are member-only, and require a more lengthy training.

 +==== Can I use the Bodgery for my business? ====
 +
 +Yes, Bodgery equipment, tools and space may be used for both startup and established business purposes. However, the Bodgery does not have business-specific amenities such as meeting rooms and reliable mail/package delivery. Like all members, business users must share the tools and other resources in a cooperative manner.
 +
 +==== Can I borrow a this-or-that? ====
 +
 +No, we do not permit tools to leave the property. However, many of your fellow Bodgers have lots of tools and equipment, so you may find someone to borrow from if you post on the Slack #classifieds channel or the appropriate area channel..
