Workshops

A workshop is a runner walking a group through one topic: a machine induction, a skill, or a build, following a structured session plan. Sessions run in the lab (RM3125A, Academic Building).

The pathway

Everything starts with the induction workshops (lab access and safety, electronics bench, machine shop, and your first FDM print). After that, two doors open: core skill workshops you can take in any order, and machine workshops that each certify you on one machine.

How to read it:

• Solid arrows are the route — induction first, then either tier.
• Dashed arrows mean recommended preparation, never a hard prerequisite.
• The diagram scrolls, pans (drag), zooms (ctrl+scroll or the buttons), and has a fullscreen button for reading on a phone.
• Nodes with pages are clickable — currently the induction workshops, multicolor and engineering filament (their guides live on the machine pages). The rest get pages as the sessions are written.

How workshop pages work

Every workshop page has two tabs. The Overview covers what the session teaches, how long it runs, who it's for, and the flow of the day. The Checklist tab is an interactive, tickable list of session items grouped into sections (before the session, session flow, wrap-up); progress saves per device, and there's a print view if you'd rather work from paper. Link runners straight to the checklist with ?tab=checklist on the page URL.

The checklist, duration and audience are declared in the page's frontmatter, so the wiki builds the tabs automatically. No layout work needed.
