We know that your time is very precious during ASI and the day-in and day-out tasks can often fill many of the time slots you have throughout the week. But...we also know that there are skills that many of you are very eager to learn and get experience with. Therefore, we want YOU to drive the agenda here. Please complete the following Google Survey so that we can determine which skills are most interesting for you. Then, once we know this, we can decide when we can meet as a group to practice these skills
It is now up to your entire cohort to make decisions together as a group about which of these homesteading skills you would like to prioritize and when you would like to schedule them. Please reference the ASI schedule to find open dates and times. Note that you must be able to schedule around the existing schedule ASI classes and activities. Note that a couple of these skills have been scheduled for you.
