Please read the Workshop description in detail on the MATE website before you start this application.
Applications are accepted until the workshop is full. The priority application date is April 10, 2019. We plan to start notifying applicants of their acceptance in mid-April. Applications will be taken until the workshop is full.
We require a letter of support from an administrator at your institution/organization in addition to a completed application form. Details about the letter from your administrator are at the end of the application.
Your acceptance to the workshop will be based upon your ability to implement ROV building activities within your school, club, or afterschool program, not necessarily on your knowledge or experience. Please answer all of the questions truthfully.
You can start, save, and come back later to complete this application. Just hit "Save & Resume" at the end. Be sure to copy the URL link and save it to a place you will remember.
