			There are many things you could do, but that depends on your interest.

			If you are interested in helping up take this to the world, the current challenge is bodies: recruiting. We started the Future Builders Academy (FBA) to train 24 people to build homes in 5 days as a 24 person swarm build using our modular techniques. Currently we have 2 people in the FBA program. Do you have ideas on recruiting?

			Point - we can generate $100k every 6 weeks from building homes in an earn-as-you-learn immersion program of the FBA. This bootstrap funds development.

			Our current attempt is: run Builder Crash Courses every 2 months, for about $70k net if we sell the house that we build. With the recent viral video - we can run a successful workshop to do this in December. So this is a real revenue stream - that we can use as we build our apprenticeship size to 24 people.

			Would you be in a position to help on the recruiting side? That requires strategy and execution.

			Hi ___________,

			Thanks for reaching out and for your interest in the Work Exchange Program.

			We’ve postponed the November Builder Crash Course to December 1–14, due to the surge of interest from our recent viral video. We’re currently using the November registration page for the December 2025 session. You can find the registration page here:
			https://www.opensourceecology.org/builder_crash_course_2025-2/#registration
			Just use the “Donate to OSE” option on that page if you’re registering directly.

			Here are the Work Exchange Program terms:

			In the weeks leading up to the course, you can volunteer on-site in exchange for attendance.

			The volunteer-to-attendance breakdown is: Work 7 days → attend the full 14-day course

			Each full volunteer day is 8 hours, not including lunch.

			During the event, work exchange participants pay $25 per day for housing in our HabLab hostel. Or a total of 25*14=$350

			We handle work exchange arrangements by email rather than through a separate form. If you’re ready to move forward, just reply with your availability, skills, and travel flexibility, and we’ll work out the details together.

			Best,
			Marcin
