Those who complete the orientation will then be able to request supervised time to use a laser cutter at any HCPL branch that has one. Attending this orientation is mandatory before patrons can request time to use a laser cutter in the future.

This event is open to all ages. Children ages 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult guardian.
