Authorization

Some of our tools require a safety/authorization course before use. This is required so that everyone who comes to KM has the same level of education on our policies and expectation.

You can find upcoming classes on our Events calendar - https://knoxmakers.org/events

or in the Events channel in Mattermost - https://talk.knoxmakers.org/knoxmakers/channels/events
