The Colony

The Colony is a non-profit organization dedicated to a unique educational experience that bridges the gap between nature and technology. Our distinctive curriculum integrates fields such as permaculture, entomology, plant biology, and agro-ecology with programming, statistics, computational social sciences, and robotics. At the core of our philosophy is an emphasis on the use of open-source software and freely accessible knowledge. The colony accommodates both long-term and short-term residencies, providing a range of opportunities including classes for parents and their children, as well as conferences focused on our core disciplines. This flexibility allows families and professionals alike to immerse themselves in an enriching learning environment that fosters effective science communication.
