If the pandemic calms down a bit (from the current trends, the next few months seem a bit hopeful), is this subject to change?

As someone living & working in the Bay area…
I don’t think the pandemic will be “over” during 2021. Even if things start changing at a rapid rate, I wouldn’t expect the offices in this area to open up until late in 2021.

So you no longer need to be in collage or have a VISA to participate in the future, or is this just because its remote?
“Do I need to be a US citizen in order to participate?
No. However, if you live outside the United States, you will need to qualify for a J-1 US exchange Visa. If you are accepted to participate, Roblox will assist you with the visa process. The visa requires you to be pursuing further education full-time in a college/university or to have graduated doing so within the last 12 months.”

Good luck to anyone applying! A remote position will be a really good opportunity for those who wish to continue or start development with Roblox. Excited to see what comes from this in 2021!

I feel, due to the current pandemic, university’s/collage requirements wont be as desired. They are probably giving people more of an opportunity to remotely work along side roblox, as stuff like this might not come as easily as a result of the ongoing lockdown. - But please, correct me if I am wrong.

The university requirement was purely a VISA requirement. Since our program is no longer 100% on-site, we can accommodate folks who are not in University.

Do you think you will be doing remote accelerator opportunities after the pandemic is over or will you go back to on-site?

The accelerator program is one of the best ways to accelerate your Roblox learnings!
Just the talented people you’ll meet will be worth the experience alone

Hiya!
What are the specific dates this accelerator will happen on? “Spring” is a bit vague (especially as someone living in Australia; the season changes about 8 times a week here).
Cheers!

This sounds like a great opportunity!
I won’t apply at this time, but I’m still curious… Does one need any specific education/experience in any form or shape? What can improve one’s chances of getting considered? ex. status, achievements, education etc.

I would totally go for this if I weren’t leaving for Navy boot camp February 1st.
Speaking of which, is it possible to still get my RDC merch from RDC 2021 without being there if I purchase a ticket?

Will there ever be remote solo opportunity 
The requirements for people outside the US to go over there is near impossible for most (talking about acquiring the Visa) and so the most likely only way I could ever get a shot at this program is if it’s remote 
Trying to find a team is also really hard

I don’t think pandemic will be over at least in the next few months. But even if it does bringing people from other countries as accelerators wouldn’t be the best idea since pandemic’s situation is different for each country.

Many teams don’t tend to finish within 3 months. A solo person would have an even tougher time to complete the task. Put yourself out there on the Mingling Thread and see what kind of response you end up with.
If nobody is coming for you to join them, go after others to join you. How “hard” finding a team is, is dependent on the effort you put in to find one.
