Scout Labs is currently accepting applications from undergraduate students to join our Spring 2020 Team!
All team applications close on Sunday, November 3rd 11:59pm EST
Scout is unique in that it is entirely student-run, yet runs very similarly to a real design business. As a student-led program focused on educating its members, Scout presents the opportunity for you to learn by trying, failing, and eventually accomplishing, all in a tight-knit community where work ethic and curiosity are valued higher than intelligence and talent. So if you’re ready to work your butt off, eager to learn from others, and excited to collaborate with equally enthusiastic students, you’ve found the right place.
