BLACK BOX FIELDS.
FIELD ACADEMY / 2026 THE INSTRUCTOR NETWORK

KNOW SOMETHING
WORTH PASSING ON?

We’re building a Mississippi-based research farm, field laboratory, and hands-on learning campus. Bring your expertise, your unusual skills, and your ideas. This is an instructor-interest application for programs in development—not a job offer.

TEACH WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

YOUR CLASSROOM DOESN’T HAVE TO BE OUR CLASSROOM.

Teach from your workshop, laboratory, office or home. Students can watch your live webcam instruction together on a classroom projector or large whiteboard display, or participate on their individual laptops depending on the setting. We also welcome hybrid and fully remote teaching.

BIG IDEAS DESERVE REAL EQUIPMENT

DON’T LET THE PRICE TAG STOP YOU FROM PROPOSING A CLASS.

Have a course in mind that requires expensive equipment? Tell us what you need. We will explore manufacturer and distributor partnerships, educational pricing, donated or refurbished hardware, sponsored equipment, loaner units and software licenses. Resources are not guaranteed, but cost alone should not stop a good proposal.
