Hello - this video is for the home school community - for any students who are interested in college level education but who are not excited about so-called 'going to college'.
We are offering an innovative program that focuses on real skills for changing the world. We are offering a program where you learn to design and build just about anything - where you learn how to learn - and where you learn how to be an integrated human.
This is an apprenticeship from 1-4 years at the college level - or shorter if you want to test it out.
We're finding out that it is hard to recruit students without us having a track record as a 'so called college.' For years, we have run extreme build workshops and opportunities for hands-on builds - swarm builds of machines, agriculture projects, and homes where we build something in just a few days - with the power of team-based collabolation and rapid learning.
Our plans are ambitious - to apply this to reimagining and rebuilding the world.
We are lookign for people who are interested in lifelong learning. We are looking for people interested in building their character - to develop the humility required to take on and solve problems much larger than oneself. We are looking for people who want to become responsible and powerful stewards of the world around them - who see the possibility of a world that works for everyone.
We start with a 2 week Crash Course for Builders, where we build an entire home including all the utilities and rooftop photovoltaics. We continue over the next 2 months to build a complete ecological house on the open market - with exquisite eco and natural features. Over the whole year - we spend 2 days building eco-homes, and 3 days in a program of 6-15 credit hours equivalent of study - focusing on teamwork, team projects, and collaboration that allows us to build the open source Global Village Construction Set over the next 4 years.
If you are interested - please see my TED Talk on the open source blueprints for civilization - and take a look at the application that we put out for the 4 year Apprenticeship and Fellowship.
