We will walk you through building a fun project to take home in one 2-3 hour session. Many users have met friends and made cool things at our trainings. Examples of past events include custom jigsaw puzzles, custom flight tags, and prop swords! ### Events Calendar To view upcoming AMS events and RSVP, please join the [AMS Events Google Calendar ](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/2?cid=MDkxNTFmM2NlOTU2OGRkOGZlNjMwZWY3YTYyMzZlY2U1YjNhMzkzZDM0OGJmYWU5Y2VmOWUwZjY1Y2Y1MTAxMkBncm91cC5jYWxlbmRhci5nb29nbGUuY29t)and RSVP for your favorite events.

No prior experience (other than the Tormach Training) is needed! If you wish to use a tool for a specific project, you can ask a mentor on shift to walk you through using it. **Completing the training program is especially beneficial to those that are interested in becoming a mentor at the AMS.** Users can sign up for in-person trainings through the Google calendar group. Please do not sign up for in person trainings less than 24 hours in advance, and remember to check back to the Google Calendar regularly for new trainings. Trainings are split up into many various sessions, some examples are: * 3D Printing * Laser Cutting * Electronics Station * 3D Scanning * Brother Embroidery Machine and Cricut Cutting Machine * T-Shirt Making Process * Drill Press, Belt Sander, Jointer, and Planer (Wood 2) * Band, Scroll, Miter, and Table Saws (Wood 1) * CNC Router * Wood Lathe * Tormach CNC Machine ### Training Youtube Channel / AMS Wiki If you want to watch simple video tutorials of our tools, a youtube channel with in-depth trainings on various AMS tools is available, with videos sorted into various playlists. The AMS is constantly adding new tool videos every semester. * [Front Room](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH8Pf_LMrGlkDeIyzpN7B9f-85Rxcr_8T) * [Wood Room](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH8Pf_LMrGlkX7ZjoeC-WJiSGWNsAE27K) * [CNC Router](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH8Pf_LMrGlltj9SakmD18JXO_-jOjQ-y) * [OMTech Laser Cutter](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH8Pf_LMrGln2wN0uJ8mQUjM_b7mG3KiA) * [Miscellaneous Trainings (3D Scanner, etc.)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzgI4iiDhaI\&list=PLH8Pf_LMrGlkiTKm8GbdGaumWi-z3k8bz\&index=1\&ab_channel=AeroMakerSpaceTraining) Another option is to read through the wiki right here!

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://gtae.gitbook.io/ams/info/events-and-trainings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
