	Instruction fees are those fees that are charged to attendees for simply attending a presentation. These are fees not related to any product or material used in the presentation. Instruction fees will be split between Knox Makers and the instructor. The default split will be 50% will go to Knox Makers, and 50% will go to the instructor. Of the 50% retained by Knox Makers, half of that (25% of the total) will go to the Knox Makers general fund, which is used to pay rent, utilities, and other items that impact the organization as a whole. The remaining half retained by Knox Makers (25% of the total) will be directed towards the area budget most appropriate for the presentation. For example, classes taught in the wood shop using the woodworking tools would have 25% of the total instruction fee directed to the woodworking zone budget. The instructor may choose to donate their portion of the instruction fee to any budget of their choosing.

	The Tuesday night event is intended to be a free and open to the public presentation. Being a regularly scheduled event, the Tuesday night presentation tends to have the highest turn out of any event. As of December 2016, attendance is usually between 30 and 70 people. Because it tends to have a very large attendance, and the audience can include many first-time attendees, it tends to be more focused on introductory classes. Workshops can work on Tuesdays, but they need to be able to scale well, with lots of parallel paths for hands-on.
