Earthship Field Study
Academy Step 2
Once students complete their month of Academy, we encourage them to go further into their studies by participating in the construction of an Earthship from start to finish.
The Field Study sessions allow the students to participate in an Earthship construction from ground up, with a better insight on how everything comes together. It is an opportunity for students to explore in depth the subjects that interest them the most, or complete knowledge they may have missed out on during their academy session. There are no classes during the Field Studies, these are strictly building sessions.
The Field Studies are the perfect opportunity to solidify the skills acquired during the Academy and there are no limits on how many you can attend. Some students choose to attend one field study, when some people prefer to participate in three or five until they feel confident to move towards their Independent Study.
