STEAM Camp Candidates

Introduction

We are looking for people with a diverse productive tech skill set to create a crash course for digital age tech literacy. In:

1. Design and CAD
2. Arduino
3. 3D printing
4. Raspberry Pi
5. Drones
6. Electronics and electronics design
7. CNC machines - Mills, circuit mills, lasers
8. Power electronics - welder, inverter, dc-dc
9. Electric motors - axial flux, and geardowns, and coil winders
10. 18650 Battery packs
11. Sensors and IoT

Using open source toolchains: live Linux, FreeCAD, KiCad, Blender, WebGL, inkscape, flatcam, wikis, and live editable documents

Prioritization

1. Relevance to OSE mission
2. Audience size
3. Early Adopter
4. Mutual benefit
5. converting the competition

Candidate Criteria

Strategy: align with skill set of candidate so this feeds directly to product. Propose value of Growth Mindset - learning other tech, meeting exciting people. Must select for OSE Spark, and supercooperators willing to work as a team.

1. Provides Relevant Technology - most important because technology is the foundation of our product. Without technology, we could not substantiate practical development of open source products.
2. Excitement about the OSE Vision of collaborative design for a transparent and inclusive economy of abundance. This is what gives them extra energy.
3. Growth Mindset - to be excited to be around other A players and to want to learn from them, as doing STEAM Camps requires learning.
4. Supercooperators
5. Open Source
6. Socially savvy
7. Entrepreneurial
8. Educators

Offer - What do the Candidates Like

1. Open Source Everything Store
2. Financial Freedom
3. TED Talk - technology with a purpose. The Spark - do they have it when they see this work?
4. Transitioning from a competitive to a collaborative economy
5. Solving issues bigger than we can do on our own
6. Solving pressing world issues - what issues are these to my people?
7. Working with other A players - which is a great growth opportunity
8. Learning new technical skills
9. Improving their teaching skills
10. Distributed economy - vision of decentralization as a key improvmement
11. Open source - this is available to everyone. OSE owns content, under open source (CC-BY-SA or CC-BY) license
12. Open Source Franchise - that we are growing the pie for everyone by lowering barriers
13. Being part of something bigger than themselves - a global movement of collaborative product design
14. STEAM Education that Matters - teaching relevant skills vs putting people into the military complex
15. Integrated OSE design - product ecologies that arise from modular design
16. Construction Set Approach and Scalability - that we can build many variations at different scales
17. OSE Campus - are they interested in starting a facility that becomes a point of light for their community?

Offer

1. OSES OSPD Products with curriculum - 3DP, plotter, mill (2D with servo), functional electric motor, functional stepper, cordless welder, vacbot, raspberry pi tablet (stackable screens), stackable drone, large printer, rubber extruder, etc. You can put them on your store immediately
2. Sideline biz
3. Learning
4. Involvement in GVCS OSPD

Ideal Outcome

Person is already familiar with OSE, and is fully on board with the vision. They are already open source at the core, and are excited about meeting other A players to create the next economy. They already believe that the next economy is the open source economy, and have the skills to bring it about. They are supercooperators with a growth mindset. They are fast learners, and come more from the education field than technology - so they are able to inspire others. They are entrepreneuarial, so they do not have a problem with envisioning the impossible. Since they come from education/community management/supercooperation backgrounds,

Concept

1. Do it in bulk: run 6-12 camps at a time as a Collaboration with leadership development and coopetition
