About the Program
Field Station is a one-week residency programme at a 500-acre regenerative project in Rajasthan, where accepted participants will come together to create a real, working parallel society: living, eating, debugging, and shipping solutions to real-world issues.
Residents will choose one of the four tracks listed below to build a prototype. At the end of the one-week programme, a demo day will give participants the opportunity to showcase their work for a chance to win milestone-based grants to continue the project.
