ACTA/Tour Of the Space

When giving new people a tour of the space, the following can be considered a good guide to how to go about it:

• brief history of the space
• purpose of the space (allow people to come and do projects)
• How the space is funded
• Space layout
• List some rules of the space (rule 0 is a good one, as are rules 4 and 6 AND 7)
• Membership costs etc
• Where to grab food/drink
• How to open/close
• Powerbars, how do they work(?!)
• Wifi PSK

Then move onto asking about that persons interest

• what are their hobbies/interests
• did they come to the hackspace for any reason in particular?
• are they using proper footwear?

Based on the response, try and point them at the direction of someone who is also interested in that area/topic. Make sure they know that they can approach you again at any time. Coming to a hackspace for the first time can be a daunting experience, doubly so if you don't know anyone.
