Applicant guide and Internship guide. Recommended sections to read:
Each project will require a different level of experience with different skills.

| No knowledge required | |
| Concepts | |
| Experimented | |
| Comfortable | |
| Challenge |
Required skills: You don't need to have all project skills in order to apply. Each project skill will be listed as:
| Required | Mentors will only select you as an intern if you have this skill |
| Preferred | Mentors prefer to select an intern who has this skill, but they may select you if you don't have this skill |
| Nice to have | Mentors will select you, even if you don't have this skill |
If you're unsure whether you have the project skills needed, reach out the mentor via email and ask them. It's better to ask than to not apply!
