How it works

How it works

Community members apply to one of two roles:

Co-lead

Lead a Build while also gaining hands-on experience in your role.


Co-leads shape the project direction, improve their product thinking, and strengthen their problem-solving skills.

Non-lead

Execute a Build by collaborating closely with your team.


Non-leads drive the project forward, sharpen their skills, improve their teamwork, and gain hands-on experience.
