	This year is wrapping up to an end. After getting on the world stage in 2011 with the Global Village Construction Set TED Talk, we have received much attention and support. We were largely supported by foundations until last year, and this year, we have shown a proof of concept of a bootstrapping revenue model.		'''Core Discussion:''' This year is wrapping up to an end.

	We have succeeded in our Extreme Manufacturing workshop model - in demonstrating that we can net $10k from a weekend event - by combining production and education in one. We have done this with the Compressed Earth Brick Press. In this model, we produce an immersion learning workshop - and sell the machine that is produced in this workshop. This is based on our Extreme Manufacturing techniques, where we have shown that we can build one of our heavy machines in a single day. Our next step is to scale this model.

This year is wrapping up to an end. After getting on the world stage in 2011 with the Global Village Construction Set TED Talk, we have received much attention and support. We were largely supported by foundations until last year, and this year, we have shown a proof of concept of a bootstrapping revenue model.

We have succeeded in our Extreme Manufacturing workshop model - in demonstrating that we can net $10k from a weekend event - by combining production and education in one. We have done this with the Compressed Earth Brick Press. In this model, we produce an immersion learning workshop - and sell the machine that is produced in this workshop. This is based on our Extreme Manufacturing techniques, where we have shown that we can build one of our heavy machines in a single day. Our next step is to scale this model.

Our main challenge turns out to be finding skilled leaders for these workshops. Because it is not easy to find such people, we will have to train them. We are currently planning on creating an immersion, one month curriculum to provide the fabrication, digital production, organizational, enterprise, and leadership skills to future workshop leaders. As we develop a rollout schedule and bring about the full product launch of the Brick Press - providing such an immersion course will be part of the plan.

We will be providing a similar product launch package for all the other machines, such as the Power Cube, 3D Printer, Tractor, CNC Torch Table, and others. To do this, our next step is a detailed sequence and priority schedule for the machines. This is based on the intense crash course of learning that we have been undergoing for the last 3 years since getting on the world stage.

Join us to find out more and get involved in the product launch.
