All projects that participate in OHM are expected to publish their documentation, hardware and software under open licences.

-
You will get in contact with experienced people in the open hardware community

This cohort has been supported by Code for Science & Society, and a small stipend will be available for selected projects
The program runs over 16 weeks (from October 03rd 2022 to February 19th 2023 - there is a small break from mid December to mid January).
Accepted participants will work through the curriculum supported by a dedicated mentor, while engaging with the wider OHM community (experts, fellow participants, other mentors and organisers).
