Basic Info
Demographics
We ask these questions because we aim for the class composition to have a balance of people from different backgrounds. Within many maker activities we see an under representation of women and people of color. This information will give feedback on the success of our outreach and recruiting efforts as well as allow us to be intentional about creating a class composition which reflects our community.
Application
No experience is required but it is helpful for us to understand where people are starting in planing the course.
$2,000 includes course fees and membership. It does not include materials for your project.
Scholarship Program
The course and membership costs $2,000 plus materials for your project. How much of a scholarship do you need? If accepted we can talk about reducing the deposit or creating a payment plan that works for you.
