Application

STEP 1 - Produce an approximately 5 minute Video of Interest (VOI)- record a video of yourself and publish on a video sharing site. In your video, please identify yourself and answer 4 questions after you Introduce yourself - your name, and location (city or state or both): Describe in your own words - the most interesting aspect of our program that resonates with you or is attractive to you. Tell us what you think makes you a good fit for our first cohort of 24 team members who are focusing on mastering techniques for large scale collaborative design and builds. What are you most proud of yourself for having achieved in your life so far? How long do you think it will take you to gain functional proficiency in 20 different trades-related skills to achieve a full build of a Seed Eco-Home in 5 days with the rest of your cohort? Please provide us with insight about how you draw your conclusions, or if you have no idea, what information is missing for you to make an informed decision? How much time can you commit on site? Can you afford the tuition or would you require earnings from work-study to support your participation? To submit your video, please use our form.

STEP 2 - Written Application (about 1 hour to submit). We will direct you how to do this once we receive your VOI.

STEP 3 - Interview - ½ hour remote video interview. This is about thinking on your feet, no prep required. We may schedule a followup interview if there are outstanding questions.
