Generator Day Pass

A Generator Day Pass is a great way to get short-term access to specialty tools, and is a low commitment opportunity to try out our space and get to know our amazing community.

Day pass holders receive the same equipment and facility access as our other members once they have completed the appropriate trainings. This includes our wood shop, metal shop, sewing studio, electronics lab, jewelry studio, and all of our rapid prototyping tools. Day pass users also receive free Wi-Fi and access to our computer lab and design/modeling software.

Day passes are $35/day and must be purchased in-person.

Day pass users have access to our space from 9am-10pm.

Day passes are available for purchase Mondays from 9am-4pm, Tuesday-Saturday from 9am-6pm, and are currently not available on Sundays.

Day passes are only valid on the date of purchase, and cannot be purchased ahead of time.

Day pass holders must be 18 years or older.

Please note that this is a new program and is in its pilot phase.

Day Pass User Requirements

1. New Member Facility Orientation

Every Generator user is required to complete a New Member Facility Orientation. This is a one hour meeting with one of the Generator’s staff to review our facility, safety practices, and other rules and expectations when participating in our community.

These sessions are FREE and are held on a regular basis.

You can view and register for an upcoming orientation here.

2. Shop & Tool Access Prerequisites

Most of our specialty tools and shops have prerequisite trainings. These tool trainings serve as introductions to the safe and proper use of a specific tool or shop, and successful completion of these tool trainings are required for independent access to these shops and/or tools. If you are considering a Generator Day Pass please make sure you have completed the appropriate trainings ahead of time for the shop or tools you want to use.

You can view the list of upcoming tool trainings here.
