CEB Workshop Planning

Core Goal

CORE GOAL (review Goals) - By teaching people as much as we can about the topic, we are educating developers. The Extreme Build is bait. Our approach is to generate Entrepreneurs first - because any entrepreneur who build these machines is likely to engage in development. Crowdsource Improvements on everything.

1. Video of machine assembly. Tests the files and shares the overview.
2. Signup + Pay Structure. No streaming plan for now.
3. Announcement poster - marketing to Developer market segment. To get Developers, we need to Educate Developers. Expose source for crowdsourced improvements.
4. Financial Model (include annual cost of facility overhead and insurance)
5. Curriculum - rough cut
6. Marketing Plan. Done when 24 people are signed up.

1. Flyer - CROWD SOURCED flyer that improves with time! Allow people to participate in it - what would you like to see on the flyer that would make you attend? Crowd source the content and the template itself. Reward: 50% off the workshop admission.

• CROWDSOURCED CONTENT improvement of flyer
• CROWDSOURCED TEMPLATE improvement of flyer
• CROWDSOURCED REWARD. Chip-In or equivalent for the specific flyer.

DO then CROWDSOURCE EXECUTION IMPROVEMENTS.

Factor e Farm – Maysville MO, USA

This 3 or 4-day workshop – led by designer/builder Marcin Jakubowski – empowers participants to create their own Brick Press through hands-on, experiential training reinforced by conceptual learning in basic sustainable design. The central activity of the workshop is the construction of a Brick Press shell using open source equipment including a tractor, soil pulverizer, and brick press. Extreme manufacturing concepts of parallel processing and prefabrication are applied to achieve rapid on-site assembly. Philosophy of open source development is also emphasized, and the participants become more than just builders, they become active collaborators in the MicroHouse evolution.

• A weekender option exists for those interested in getting an introduction to the ideas of open development and sustainable design but do not have the time for the full, immersive experience:

Weekend Workshop: Begins Friday evening, April 18, and concludes Sunday evening, April 20. Five-Day Workshop: For a more immersive experience, join us for a full 5 days, concluding on April 23. Have questions? Drop us an email: chris at opensourceecology dot org LEARNING OUTCOMES

Other

CAD review and points forward

• frame, drawer, hopper, etc - points going forward
• redo hopper if time allows - but publish existing hopper - new hopper simplifies fabrication. Too stiff connection - can we loosen it?
• cut sharp corners on hopper
• fab sourcing - only error is the long piece- 1x3 for verticals
• known issues, problem statements
• hopper angle of repose
