At Kwartzlab (Ontario) the minimum age for membership was lowered to
16 a couple years ago when we had a couple teens show interest and
join up. We figured if a high school is going to allow a minor to
use power tools in a machine shop, then we can probably make it work
also.<br>
<br>
Younger kids are allowed in the lab with parental supervision
provided the parent displays common sense. They can't become members
though.<br>
<br>
Our insurance said age didn't really matter as far as they're
concerned -- our liability doesn't change no matter if it's an adult
or minor who hurts themselves due to something we're negligent for.<br>

What are various people's policies on space use by minors? Use
when supervised by an adult, use when supervised by an adult
member, no use at all, etc?<br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Followon,
do you offer student discount memberships, and if so, are they
available to minors? E.G. can a 14 year old get a student
membership and be supervised by a non member parent? Or do you
restrict student memberships to college/university students?<br>
<br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Last,
do you offer an 'educational' membership rather than a student
which is extended to students and qualified educators
(teachers & professors)?<br>
