Open Source Microfactory STEAM CampCountdown

Find out more about the Open Source Microfactory STEAM Camp.

Build Yourself. Build Your World.

Jan 25-Feb 2, 2020 in Ghent, Belgium - Richmond, Virginia - Dallas, Texas (3 locations all running at the same time)

Did you ever want to design or build something, but did not know - where to start? We've got a program - that in only 9 days - will make sure - that never happens to you - again. Through our collaborative design and build training - in only 9 days - you will learn and be proficient in CAD, 3D printing, electronics, microcontrollers, and coding. You will build your own 3D printer, a pen plotter, a cordless welder, and ... a Raspberry Pi tablet. You’ll even get to take the things you build - home with you after the program ends! That includes the 3D Printer, the CNC plotter, and the Raspberry Pi tablet! So you will always have an effective open hardware development kit - ready when you are. In the first 4 days, you will learn how to design just about anything in FreeCAD, as you design and print various tools you’ll be using throughout the program- you’ll even have built your own 3D Printer by the end of your first day. Throughout the program, you’ll be building a Video Studio with lights, camera, tripod, and slider.

We focus on collaborative design – and this is our first ever event that is happening in 3 locations at the same time in Europe and America. The goal is to collaborate with the 3 groups so that rapid design and prototyping can take place – as a combined effort which accelerates innovation and creates a viable path to the open source economy.

Open Source Ecology is accelerating the growth of the next economy - the Open Source Economy - an economy that optimizes both production and distribution - while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice. We are building the Global Village Construction Set. This is a high-performance, modular, do-it-yourself, low-cost platform - that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes - to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.

Civilization Starter Kit - v0.01 The Civilization Starter Kit currently contains all the training materials you need to build 4 out of 50 Global Village Construction Set machines (Beta v0.01).
