Build

There is no deadline. The SEED SPOT team accepts applications on a rolling basis.

SEED SPOT uses a train-the-trainer model and partners with a teacher on campus to teach the curriculum. Teacher trainings are conducted annually before the school year begins, and teachers receive dedicated staff support and on-call assistance throughout the year.

Nope! SEED SPOT offers a proprietary curriculum that has activities and lesson plans already built in.

The Build curriculum is designed specifically for high schools, although it can be modified for middle schools. Our team has supported all kinds of schools - charter, private, public, independent, Montessori, etc. It's all dependent on how easily and quickly your school and school district can approve new curriculum.

Build is a year-long, 24-unit curriculum that is taught during the school day. While less flexible than our Explore curriculum, it gives students a more comprehensive and thorough understanding of social entrepreneurship.

Build's curriculum license fee (which includes the curriculum, guides, and resources for the teacher to effectively lead the program) is $5,000 per year. There is an additional teacher training and support fee (which helps to advance each teacher's professional development) that is discounted based on how many years the teacher has taught the program. A first-year teacher costs $5,000 to train, a second-year teacher costs $3,000 to train, and a third-year teacher costs $1,500 to train. Discounts are offered for multi-year contracts, the purchase of multiple programs, the training of 5+ teachers, and if schools qualify for grant criteria.

Some do, and some do not. The end goal is for students to see themselves as change-agents, entrepreneurs, and innovators ready to tackle any problem they are passionate about, whether during the program or beyond.
