Under 18 Student Application Process

We're thrilled that you've expressed your interest in joining us for ETHDenver 2024 #YearoftheSporkWhale!

In order to participate as an Under 18 Student at ETHDenver 2024, you will need your parent or guardian to apply on your behalf.

Here is how:

1. After the parent/guardian has been accepted to attend ETHDenver 2024, they will unlock the ability to submit the Under 18 Application.

2. Our Community Steward will then reach out with a link for the parent/guardian and the under 18 student to participate in an interview. We need to verify that your parent/guardian approves of the under 18 attending the event, that they agree to the Under 18 Terms of Service, that the student agrees to the Under 18 Terms of Service, and answer other questions you may have.

3. If the parent/guardian and student agree to the Terms of Service, the parent will receive a Docusign agreement that will be require the students full legal name, age, Student ID, parent ID, and confirmation that they will be the Under 18 chaperon in the event.

4. On receipt of this, the Under 18 student will be added to our Under 18 Student list and a credential will be waiting for the parent/guardian and student to pick up at registration.
