Our Charge to you

We are calling on graduate and undergraduate students across the country to participate in The Home Depot's New Frontiers of Sustainability, a Competition for the LEEDers of Tomorrow. These students will be challenged with creating cutting-edge, sustainable designs for tiny homes. Once all designs have been submitted, the top three designs will be chosen and the teams will be given the money and resources to build their tiny home. The homes will then be approved by the United States Green Building Council and receive LEED-certification. Each team will also receive $50,000 in scholarship money split amongst the members of the team. To showcase the remarkable achievements of the students, the tiny homes will embark on a nationwide tour to further amplify the capabilities of The Home Depot's products.
