Positions available at Instructables
Instructables is seeking interns of all shapes and sizes! We're looking for people who take good pictures, write well, and want to share their knowledge and help us manage the community. An active Instructables account with great projects is the best way to show off your skills. It's very rare that we would hire an intern who hasn't already posted an Instructable, so if you aren't already an author, share something!
All of our internships are paid. We unfortunately do not offer unpaid internships. Our summer 2013 internship program is full.
Tim is also running an internship program where he teaches you skills in exchange for help documenting heirloom technologies. Check here for more information.
Instructables is located in downtown San Francisco, CA.
Internships on are a rolling basis, and there is no deadline for applications.

In 2011, we were acquired by Autodesk. Our benefits are now super-charged!
We're located in downtown San Francisco in an old salon, with gorgeous natural light and access to our roof. At our lab, we have a laser cutter, 5 sewing machines each with a different specialty, a full kitchen, and plenty of hand-tools in addition to the computers you'd expect.

"For summer 2013, we only have internship positions open for software engineering. You must currently be in an undergraduate or graduate program to qualify."
"Instructables is seeking interns of all shapes and sizes! We're looking for people who take good pictures, write well, and want to share their knowledge and help us manage the community."
I highly recommend giving it a go.
*One of them was me.
Internships and "proper" are different, but, since hundreds of British students spend their Summers working in US summercamps, or spending a gap year working there, I'd assume the problems are routinely surmountable.
Is there an age limit for the job? :D We would like to help out for free, just for instructables to be better place! I've been an instructable fan at the age of 10. Me and my friends have some programming capabilities, well we study in a Academics&Technical School. Building projects and programming is our hobby (HTML, CSS, JAVA, JQuery ,C++, Arduino), hope to spend my free time reaching out for some help :)))))
I don't know Californian employment law, but in the UK you would be old enough for paid work, like a paper round or helping in a shop, as long as it did not interfere with school work, and as long as your school is satisfied that the work is safe.
So, what you need to do is find out what the legal position is in San Francisco (somebody at school should be able to help with that). Regarding safety, there are no tools at HQ more dangerous than those you'll use in "shop" lessons.
Assuming that goes well, you will then need to a proposal together for Ewihelm, the boss. Say what you could help with, what skills you have, maybe even suggest projects you could do independently.
Words of warning, though:
You need to remember that HQ is not a school or youthclub - the staff there are very friendly, some of the coolest people you'll ever meet, but they have their own jobs to do, and will not be able to monitor you and your safety as closely as you may be used to.
Having said that, good luck.
I just realize that there's a certain section in ibles, I haven't gone into, the forum section! Well I could probably post articles about site improvements :))) I Guess the forum section doesn't get viewers as much as the ible guides.
- Thanks
To be fair, Instructables is certainly not the same as it was in those days*, and I am not at all the same person I was back then. :)
*Or perhaps as it was portrayed, I suppose.

way better being called an AIRhead than intern.
I could write a letter of recommendation...wait, that won't do any good...
Still ill try to post all the stuff i can, researching in mexican candy :)
Also will make a post on the dia de muertos and noche mexicana how to, just hope to ge the time.
Thanks instructables for this oportunity to share my small knowledge, this is helping me as a small therapy to overcome my depression.

I assume this is the contact info. Is it not?
iwannawork@instructables.com
(translation!) Hope that helps.
The topic could have been better written to include something like "If you would like more information e-mail us at-"
(it's British-sarcasm or something)

PM me if anyone knows the details...
think bout it and for more details just mail me at
scientificshiv@gmail.com
If you genuinely want the job, apply for it.
tsuss! klk
However if you need a token physically challenged individual I would score quite highly in that respect, however, you should take into account that a staff member on morphine can be somewhat limited on occasions…lmao
My next project is to design and build a TMS device (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) as this has shown some remarkable effects on chronic pain. I would value constructive comments, ideas, help from any of you who might be interested.
If you want to start a UK branch, let me know. Due to time constraints, I've only made 2 instructables, but both were featured, and one was put in one of your ebooks .... huh, huh?
Cheers -

We are going to be at the makers faire this year! In full force.
No, the UK Faire, in Newcastle. There's a forum topic about it somewhere...
I can make a sunbeam rifle. you contain sunbeam in a round bowl(construct it) of some kind. the cover should be from the grey material that doesn't contain or let heat through. In the cover you put cells that holds sunlight. put a cap (two, one across the other) to make an opening. open the cap and let the beam go through magnifying glasses and it will shoot like a solar rifle. you can kill an human being miles away. the sunbeam won't disperse because those light molecules will be denser than tne sun's. I even have theorie of making a bomb out of sunlight, a bomb that evaporates human's. but I don't have the money, it's cheap though. sorry from gramatical error's because my main language is dutch.
Being able to read and understand instructions may be considered a primary function of the job, in which case you've just disqualified yourself.
