	The Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp empowers novices and experts alike to learn the basics of collaborative product design using advanced, open source tools. Curriculum covers 4 days of using tools and techniques that allow an individual to contribute meaningfully to collaborative, open source product design. These tools include collaborative literacy and development techniques, open source CAD software, open source 3D printers for on-demand prototyping, and documenting everything according to best practices of open hardware documentation. We focus on using Universal Axis - an open source construction set for precision motion - to create open source manufacturing tools - such as 3D printers, CNC mills, and laser cutters - and then apply these tools to building real products that contribute to a public design effort for creating the open source economy.

	Using open source techniques and guidance from our team of ~~expert~~ instructors, students build real products that they can then take home with them: 3D printers, a vaccuum robot, a Raspberri Pi tablet, an aerial drone, and many others. All participants are then encouraged to start their own business producing 3D printed electromechanical products and to create the open source equivalent of Amazon.

	While the above products are consumer goods, the goal is to include larger builds in time based on modularity and scalability. For example, scaling up the electric motor that is part of the initial curriculum - we can move on to electric cars. The goal is to do basic builds that prepare the participant for designing and building larger versions. As such, the STEAM camp has direct relevance to creating economically-significant products - and doing so in a way that contributes to creating the open source economy.
