Where blockchain developerscome to Level Up.
The MLH Fellowship is a 12-week internship alternative for aspiring technologists. Fellows on the Web3 track experience what it's like to work with emerging technologies powered by blockchains.
Upcoming Batches
The MLH Fellowship runs year-round with batches starting every few months. We offer scheduling options that accommodate most major time zones.
Learn about theWeb3 Track
Web3 is the name given to internet services that are built using decentralized blockchains — the distributed ledger systems used by cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether. This underlying technology has broad applications, though, and Web3 has grown to encompass gaming, social platforms, crowdfunding, CRMs and more.
In the Web3 track of the MLH Fellowship, you'll learn the skills needed to build on this quickly evolving part of the web and contribute to cutting-edge Web3 applications. Through expert mentorship, you’ll learn how to code on blockchains like Solana, collaborate on a team, and debug hard problems. By the end of the program, you will gain valuable technical skills and the experience needed for a career in Web3 and beyond.
