We will be offering a Future Fab Crash Course (6 days) where the goal is a survey of collaborative build techniques and tools where people can design and productize just about anything you see on Amazon. This is the big picture course that covers collaborative development, CAD, digital fabrication tools, the architecture of technologies, modular build systems for technology areas, automation, and AI to assist in the design process. This is aimed t collaborative, open product development.

As far as the practical tools - building, welding, CNCs, fabrication, automation, 3D printing - as applied to technology in general and to housing - we will be offering a 5 day course on this at our site, in the form of Future Fab Boot Camp, and Future Builders Boot Camp. So these would be the key trainings, 6 days online + certifications - and 5+5 days on site.

And we will offer Swarm Builds (house, RTK GPS skid steer, 3d printer + filament maker, others).

We don't have specific dates for the above, as we are just developing these and developing a schedule for next year - as we see a huge demand from people like yourself looking for applied, powerful skill sets.

Can you tell me a little more about what exactly would be the skills that you are interested in acquiring, and thus helping us cater the program more specifically to peoples' needs?
