Build the Future.</h1><br /> <p>Start with our 12-week Builder Crash Course. Help us launch a 4-year Fellowship that transforms builders into regenerative civilization leaders.</p><br /> <a href="#apply" class="cta">Apply for the $100K Fellowship</a><br /> </header><br /> <br /> <div class="section"><br /> <h2>Phase 1: The Builder Crash Course</h2><br /> <p>The program begins with a 2-week Builder Crash Course where you and your team build a complete, high-performance home — from foundation to finish. This immersive experience gives you hands-on exposure to 20 core trades and tools. This event is open to the public as a 2-week, paid immersion course — a rare, hands-on opportunity unlike anything else in the world.</p><br /> <p>Following the crash course, you'll apply your new skills in two additional 6-week house builds. In just 14 weeks, you’ll have built 3 full homes — gaining real-world experience in team construction, site leadership, and build process management.</p><br /> $1<br /> <li>Install and commission a complete photovoltaic (PV) system as part of the home build</li><br /> <li>Build 2 additional homes across two 6-week build cycles</li><br /> <li>Support 6 participants in building their own 900 sf homes to take home — proving that everyday people can build a $40K home under our guidance, instead of buying one for $400K</li><br /> <li>Start on the factory floor and work up to $50/hr or more in as little as 1 year through our work-study program as you lead construction crews</li><br /> <li>Learn hands-on design using FreeCAD, modular systems, and OSE Design Guides</li><br /> <li>Develop learning agility, moral intelligence, and cross-disciplinary problem-solving</li><br /> </ul><br /> </div><br /> <br /> <div class="section"><br /> <h2>Phase 2: The 4-Year Journey</h2><br /> <p>After the Builder Crash Course, you enter a 4-year journey of deep transformation. Each year builds your capacity to lead, design, and replicate regenerative infrastructure while grounded in moral intelligence and collaborative literacy.</p><br /> <ul><br /> <li><strong>Year 1:</strong> Master core construction skills and modular swarm design-build techniques. Focus on soft skills like learning agility, problem-solving, and moral intelligence to lead humane technology efforts.</li><br /> <li><strong>Year 2:</strong> Learn to design open source machines that serve civilization-scale infrastructure. Study systems, institutions, and infrastructures that enable scalable deployment.</li><br /> <li><strong>Year 3:</strong> Step into leadership by running real-world swarm builds and build workshops for low-income housing clients as community service. Balance work-study to accelerate your growth.</li><br /> <li><strong>Year 4:</strong> Join a capstone project to co-lead the one-month build of a new OSE Campus with 240 people — a real-world showcase of collaborative abundance and regenerative design at scale.</li><br /> </ul><br /> <p>Each year also includes an immersion experience — travel-based action research or community service aimed at moving the world closer to an open source, zero marginal cost society.</p><br /> </div><br /> <br /> <br /> </div><br /> <br /> $1<br /> <div class="testimonial"><br /> <p>“Just seeing such a huge project being undertaken in such a short amount of time is pretty inspiring.”</p><br /> <cite>— Peter M., Aquaponic Greenhouse Workshop Participant</cite><br /> </div><br /> </div><br /> <br /> $1<br /> <div class="testimonial"><br /> <p>“I teach manufacturing technology and I am sharing this with my students.”</p><br /> <cite>— D.
