			== Tool Safety ==
			* Noisebridge has many powerful tools that can be dangerous for adults and kids alike, so be sure to supervise or use it for kids that are too young to use it safely.
			* If you haven't used something before or it has safety instructions, be sure to ask for help from those around the space who might be able to instruct you on safe operation.
			* If nobody is available to train you on a tool, ask about training times and wait till someone who can instruct you becomes available in the future.

Hackerspaces can be great for parents who bring kids and supervise their kids by interacting with them to help them engage with activities and to take responsibility for their entertainment and safety.

== Parental Opportunities ==

There are many classes and events that are beginner and kid friendly, including and not limited to:
* [[chm|Circuit Hacking Mondays]]
* [[Gamebridge]] game development and VR class on Tuesday nights

== Parental Responsibility ==
Generally, if you bring kids, you should stay involved with them while they're in the space and help them with activities such as classes and projects.

People come to Noisebridge to hack on projects and while many participants will be excited to see young people learning and engaging in the space, many may also be busy working on projects and expect parents to watch their kids.

Unsupervised kids may be bored and explore things that might be dangerous, which may force other participants who did not sign up to do daycare to watch them out of concern for their safety while they wonder where the parents are and why they're not keeping an eye on their kids.
