Got/Want Skills? Seeking Volunteer Intern/Apprentices - orphans preferred

We're still looking for great people for Instructables. However, there are also some internship opportunities outside Instructables from our extended community. From the illustrious Tim:

I've got several dozen projects to instructable-ize. Come help me do that here in sunny Alameda, California.
There's no pay, but you'll get all the fancy bread and kombucha you can consume and learn a few new tricks in one of the most amazing workshops in the world. The projects involve skills ranging from sewing and caring for bacterial cultures to building computer-controlled machines.

Come try it out for a week or two and see if you like it.

I would KILL for a chance to become an intern at Ibles. But I'm only 14 and would need the money to fly out there. And airport security probably wouldn't let me bring all of my inventions onto the plane.....Maybe a few things like my arduino board, but nothing fancy. like a pair of pliers. or a nine volt battery. Hopefuly you guys would help me with a couple things like that ;)

I wish i could apply as your intern but my location is soooooo far from your office.

If there's an overpass nearby to sleep under and a sink to wash out my crusty drawers every morning.....then, heck yeah, why not? I desperately need a job.

Kryptonite in reply to wamjJan 10, 2010. 3:38 PM
Check here for working remotely, and the internships I imagine would be the same as the joining age for Instructables; 13.
cazomatic says: Jan 4, 2010. 2:55 PM
I'm so tempted to take all my vacation time and fly out there for an extended visit just to play in the workshop and learn some new skills! Sounds like fun.

Sounds cool and I'm right across the bridge from you guys. A paying gig would be better, but would this be OK as a part-time thing or is it only full?

puffyfluff in reply to fungus amungusJul 19, 2008. 8:46 PM
That's neat that this is what got you as an employee at instructables.

Hey Tim, I notice that you have a Boston area code listed in your contact information. Are there any opportunities for work in the East Coast area? -Marc

Hi,
Sounds Amazing! I will be in the Bay Area all summer and would love to work/help you (and the instructables team) in any way shape or form. The only problem is that I currently live in Madison, WI but I still have a lot of connections to the bay area since I used to live until I was 6 and all of my family lives there (I would stay w/ one of them). Should I shoot you an email and are the internships still open?
Thanks

I sent you my info Tim, but you never got back with me.

Would you be paying for a hotel room? I live in Sacramento, a little over an hour away, and I really don't have the resources to drive there every day.
