This opportunity is open to tertiary students who are interested in design, artistic creativity, engineering, cosplay, music, electronics and who just want to make stuff. Members of the Artifactory will also support the successful applicants in the areas of their interests.

PLEASE NOTE: This membership type is subject to the continued support of our donors. If you would like to support us in this endeavour please get in touch.
