Not all problem solvers are engineers - so consider where you've helped an organization improve a process, or where you've tested something new to demonstrate the implemented solution works under varying conditions. You should mention passion projects that can include small single board computers like a Raspberry Pi or Audino or where your life, a part‑time job or the family's IT expert, has led you to manage a network, or help those that need technical assistance.

We're always excited to see projects where…
