Heads-up: This program is run by JLCPCB / EasyEDA's Chinese community site (OSHWHub / 立创开源硬件平台). The recruitment pages and ambassador chat groups are primarily in Mandarin. Workable for Chinese-speaking students; harder lift for English-only students.
What it is
EasyEDA is a free, browser-based PCB design tool (schematics + board layout), owned by JLCPCB. The Campus Promotion Ambassador program recruits high school and college students to promote EasyEDA and its sister sites (OSHWHub / OSHWLab) on their campus — running intro sessions, helping the on-campus electronics club use the tool, and connecting instructors to the free education edition.
Who it's actually useful for
- Students majoring in electrical/computer engineering, electronics, or CS with a hardware bent.
- Members or officers of a campus maker / electronics / robotics club.
- Students who already use EasyEDA and would be promoting it anyway.
- Comfortable reading and writing in Mandarin (program comms are in Chinese).
What you actually do
- Run intro / training sessions on EasyEDA at your school's electronics or maker club.
- Refer instructors so they can apply for the free EasyEDA Education edition.
- Help club members post their projects to OSHWHub.
- Pitch JLCPCB / EasyEDA as a sponsor for campus electronics competitions and events.
What you get
- Official ambassador certificate (resume line, not a paycheck).
- Early access to new EasyEDA features.
- Limited-edition branded merch.
- $20 JLCPCB coupon for every instructor referral who signs up for the education edition. Coupons apply to JLCPCB orders (PCBs, assembly, 3D prints) — not cash.
What to skip
- Don't treat this as a paid internship — it isn't. The compensation is coupons + merch + certificate.
- Don't sign up if you don't already use the tool or have an active club to promote it in. There's no audience-building support.
- Don't expect English-language onboarding.
Free alternative if you just want the tool
You don't need to be an ambassador to use EasyEDA — it's free at easyeda.com (English) without any program signup. The ambassador track is only worth it if you're already organizing on-campus electronics activity.
How to apply
Apply through OSHWHub: <page url="https://oshwhub.com/"/>. Look for "校园推广大使" (Campus Promotion Ambassador) recruitment posts under the activities / 活动 section, or contact OSHWHub support directly. Application requires student ID verification.
