+ | For our first Makership, which will take place during the summer months, we'd like to offer the opportunity exclusively to college students. You'll see that one of the eligibility requirements is that the applicant must be a student currently enrolled in an accredited post-secondary institution. Don't worry, we do plan to open this up to everyone (student or not) in the future. So if you don't meet the eligibility requirements this time around, check back next time! | ||
