# Maker Zones

A membership provides access to a technology playground filled with fabrication 
equipment, supplies, and a diverse array of creative people. We’re divided into 
several different maker zones – check out our [full list of equipment](https://www.tvcog.net/facility/equipment/).
Anything with “Yellow” or “Red” power tools requires completion of a Safety Orientation
before you can use that Zone.

## Coworking

We put the “work” in coworking. If you thrive in an energetic, busy environment,
you’ll enjoy setting up at one of our various shared workbenches and desks, or booking
time in one of our meeting rooms.
