2 Week Crash Course Covering

*OSE's [[LifeTrac Construction Set]] design paradigm.
**Basic building blocks of 4 parts - [[Marcin]]
**How to design and build them in Sketchup - [[Sam Carlisle]]
**Mechanical Construction - [[Piotr Lugowski]] animations +
**[[Hydraulics 101]]
*How to Document
**Spreadsheet of Critical Concept Items
**Spreadsheet of Technical Development Items
**Script to convert Spreadsheet input to wiki-embeddable display of windows. See [[Documentation Platform Criteria]].
**Curated packages uploaded to Github, with Howto file linking to relevant wiki pages
*Sketchup CAD design and generation of 3D printing and DXF cutting files.
**Start with Sketchup Cube Test ([[Sketchup Lesson 1]]), then [[Sketchup Lesson 2]], then [[Sketchup Lesson 3]] and practical exercise with [[Sketchup Tractor Construction Set Stock Parts]].
**Culminating with [[Tractor Construction Set Gamification Specification]] for Massive Parallel Design capacity for youth. [[Linda Abrams]] + [[Keith Boesky]].
*Crash academy in generation of animations going from Sketchup to Blender animations - [[Piotr Lugowski]]
*Crash course in Instructionals generation starting with Script, Khan-Academy Style Instructionals, and Popcorn Maker upgrade.
*Crash course in Documentation by posting a Concept Design and Technical Design page for a given project on the wiki
*Manual plasma cutting
*TIG and MIG welding
*Acetylene torch cutting
*Mag drilling
*Ironworker machine operation
*Power Cube operation
*LifeTrac Operation.
*Building a CNC controller for the brick press via a CNC Circuit Mill starting from raw schematic files
**Crash course in open source/free toolchain for circuits - define it
*Operating the CNC torch table starting from the design of a custom part.
*Operating HydraFabber to produce a 3D print of a piece of 3/8" tubing starting from scratch, and to cut a 3/8" piece of tubing from card stock using diode laser cutter
*Building a CNC circuit mill from scratch
*Building a CNC 4-stepper motor controller of 1-5A capacity from scratch using [[RAMPS]] system
*Operating the manual lathe and mill

=Exam=
*Starting a LifeTrac seeded with several failure modes that the student is required to identify and correct prior to starting the tractor
*Starting up a MIG welder to weld 1/2" steel from a starting point of setup, including gas, wire feed, proper gas feed, and correct power settings

=Comments=
*build on [[Fab Academy Course]]

==one idea==
It may be a nice for you to hold occasional educational sessions. You could turn your hydraulics, modular design, welding, etc. classes into a sort of boot camp people would pay to attend. Many years ago I went to a really great 3 week production workshop in Madrid that included talks, discussion groups and hands-on development - that might be a good model if want to do that sort of thing. But I'd say this is not a priority for you now, unless you really want the revenue.
