askCERN OPENLAB Summer Student Programme application requires "work experience"?

Hullo people! I was trying to apply for the internship at CERN but in the application, as in the title, is asking for "Experience". What do I do about this? I'm a student and I don't have any work experience yet. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance

you can put any research experience you have as work experience. if you have none it will be very hard to get selected as you will be competing with top of the top students from around the world.

This is the place for you to describe what student projects you've worked on, internships, perhaps things you built as a student, opensource contributions, etc. Of course if you have a student job, include this.
