Your statement should be 1000 - 1500 words and highlight a few of the points below: ● Why is this the right program for you? ● What experiences have shaped your worldview/approach to design? ● What strengths do you bring that will help strengthen the overall cohort? ● In what areas do you hope to improve yourself during your time with MADE? ● What are your aspirations (and specifically, what future will the program enable you to do)? ● What have you learned from making things so far? Suggested prompts: ○ A time you took great initiative to create something. Why did you start it? What did it involve? Did others join you? Did people ultimately find it valuable? How do you know? What lessons did you learn? What would you do the same or differently if you did it again? ○ A time when you joined an initiative started by others. Why did you think it was promising to join it? What was the project like before and after you joined? How did you specifically help develop it towards its potential? Did people ultimately find it valuable? How do you know? What lessons did you learn? What would you do the same or differently?
