Red tools are high-risk tools/technologies that are generally only allowed to be worked with on campus in a controlled environment with proper supervision and support.  Red tool use in remote making is not permitted unless there are extraordinary circumstances and measures in place.  To receive authorization to use a red tool, a faculty member must make a request on the student’s behalf to mit-remote-making@mit.edu.  Project Manus and MIT EHS will then discuss the situation with the faculty member and student assess the situation.  Permission to use red tools will be very rare.
