At present, our work on the [[Global Village Construction Set]] is expanding to STEAM Camps where we teach skills, while developing real products. Our model here is: gather an A-team of instructors to deliver world-class curriculum. Attract participants with immersion learning and practical products. If the revenue model works, then we will have created a way to fund on-going, open source product development. OSE does a 50/50 revenue share with the instructor for each event.

One of the challenges to delivering the tight and immersive [[STEAM Camp Curriculum]] is that is The reason for doing a dozen events is that it allows us to involve a dozen instructors. While more difficult to organize, this addresses a critical question: how do you bootstrap rapidly to a world-class curriculum? The answer lies in collaboration: invite an A-team of insstructors to teach it.
