| 🛑 | Red | 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. |
