The Rules and Procedures
1. The STEM Lab is no place to be careless or foolish! You must use common sense, and Think before you act. Accidents can happen if you are not careful. You are responsible for your own behavior, demonstrate self-control and don’t blame others.
2. Keep noise and distractions to a minimum. Do not talk too loud, or yell across the room! Never distract students at other work-stations by talking to them without permission.
3. Stay in your assigned work-station unless you have permission to leave. Keep the 4 legs of the stools on the floor at all times! Tipping over could hurt your self or others, and damage the stool.
4. Be courteous and respectful to all others including your partners, other teams, and your instructor. Watch what you say and how you say it. Work cooperatively to get the most work done. Teamwork!
5. Stay on task. Stay focused! You must complete your work within the time allowed. Being off task will cause you, your team, and other students to get behind.
6. If you need assistance, do not yell for your instructor! Patiently raise your hand and keep working on the problem until your instructor gets to you. Yelling is rude and will make you last! Do not get up and wander around. Do not come to Mr. Radaker unless he asks you to, he will come to you.
7. Follow all safety procedures and instructions given to you by your instructor such as carrying tools to your table, using glue, covering tables, etc. Pay close attention to what you are doing.
8. Never use tools for a purpose they were not intended. They could break or injure you. Never throw things in the Tech Lab for any reason. Be sure you push in your stool when you get up from it, so that it does not trip fellow workers.
9. Computers are an important tool for us. Do not change any desktop settings, or go into places you should not be in the computer, without permission. As with all electrical equipment be careful of cords and do not get any liquids (including water) near them.
10. No food, gum, candy or drinks consumed in the Technology Lab. Never write on the desks, tables, equipment, portfolio covers or damage other lab materials. Take care of the lab, so you have a pleasant place to work. Clean up all spills or dropped materials immediately.
11. Keep work stations neat and free of clutter (this includes the floor area.) Book bags must remain on the classroom side under your desk. Be sure to bring your pencil, planner and portfolio to the lab every day. You may not go back to the classroom without permission. Do not touch other students portfolios, or projects for any reason without their permission or the instructor’s permission.
12. Always clean up and return equipment to its proper storage place. Do not play with tools or materials you are not assigned to use. At the end of the period be sure your team, cleans up (tools, glue, scrap materials, your floor area etc.) and wait seated quietly at your station, until the instructor dismisses you. If asked to clean something up, do it! Place projects on the proper storage shelves as you leave.
13. Never run, push, or horseplay in the Tech Lab. Not even just playing around! This is very dangerous.
14. Dress appropriately for the activity you are doing. Avoid loose clothes that could get damaged by tools, glue, etc. you are using. Take precautions to prevent glue, etc from getting on your clothing, the lab equipment or other surfaces. Do not glue at the computer stations.
15. Be on time to class, get out your portfolio tool box immediately each day, and be prepared to begin with materials ready to use (sharpened pencil, etc) this will maximize our time in the lab. Do not loiter in the hallway on the way to class.
16. Always use a pencil in STEM class. No unnecessary mechanical pencil disassembly. Be careful to never waste supplies and materials. Follow all instructions given by your instructor. Do not touch other student’s materials or projects!
