How admission to Makers works
A clear, four-step journey designed to help us get to know you beyond a single form. We will guide you through each step and let you know what comes next.
A selective, people-first process
Bring your curiosity, your perspective and the work you are proud of.
Application and fit review
Share your story, interests and the work that matters to you.
This first stage helps us understand your background, what motivates you and how Makers could support the direction you want to take next.
Conversation in English
A chance to introduce yourself and communicate naturally.
The goal is to get to know you through the language used across the Makers community, while giving you space to express your ideas in your own words.
Hands-on exercise
A chance to show how you approach a new challenge.
This stage gives you an opportunity to demonstrate how you make sense of a challenge, shape an idea and communicate the perspective you would bring to Makers.
Final conversation
An opportunity for us to get to know each other.
The final stage is a chance to talk about your goals, ambition and connection to the community, so both you and the Makers team can understand whether this is the right fit.
