                <p>
                  The first step is to fill out our application. Our application
                  consists of general questions intended to give us insight into
                  your previous development and leadership experience. From
                  these applications, we select the most promising candidates
                  for one-on-one interviews. The interview is the last step of
                  the application process. Based on the application and
                  interview, we select the very best candidates to create around
                  8 teams of 5 people.

                  ACM Projects is designed for those new to software
                  development. Although some experience is great, we're looking
                  for passionate and committed candidates who have a desire to
                  learn and grow in software development.

                  Be genuine! We want to see your passion for technology and
                  desire to learn. We can only judge your experience and
                  character based on what we see in the application, so fill all
                  of the questions out! Leaving questions blank is a lost
                  opportunity for us to learn more about you.

                  You will be placed into a team of five students with a project
                  and a mentor. We will have weekly (and mandatory) build nights
                  every Wednesday from 8:30 pm - 10:00 pm. This is time for you
                  to work with your team, meet with your mentor and learn. Some
                  build nights may include a short tech-related workshop
                  designed to diversify your tech skills.

                <h4>What is the time commitment?</h4>
                <p>
                  The minimum time commitment is the 1.5 hours required for each
                  weekly build night. Beyond this, you and your team may need
                  extra time to complete your project so it's up to you to
                  schedule the time amongst yourselves.
