Are you interested in changing peoples' lives by unleash their creative powers? Do you want to transform schools and education - to meet the needs of the next economy? Are you excited by reinventing local economies - and training students to make it happen via open source microfactories?

We've got a program - that in only 9 days - will open up many possibilities for such breakthroughs breakthroughs happen.

We offer collaborative design and build training - so that we can teach our future generations the much-needed practical skills to design, build, and enterprise in a world of tomorrow.

As an instructor - you will teach our breakthrough 9 day program - where students - you will learn and be proficient in CAD, 3D printing, electronics, microcontrollers, and coding. Our UVP is the hands-on and entrepreneurial approach that we take to learning. We are not about theory - but practical applications to making the world better for everyone.

During the 9 day immersion, students build your own 3D printers, other tools such as a pen plotter or cordless welder, and various practical things like a Raspberry Pi tablet or cordless drills. We offer experiences where students - with the use of refined collaboration techniques and tools - design, prototype, and productize designs things. Students can then take the things home with them, and collaborate in ongoing monthly design sessions on regular product releases.

The aha moments and learning of such applied learning are profound - as we teach how to translate ideas to reality. Because we use and continuously evolve our open hardware development kit - the tools are accessible for creative projects.

In the first 4 days, we teach collaborative literacy, including hardware tools for biulding 80% of the stuff you see on amazon. Students 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. With this printer, battery packs, electronic controllers, motors, and other parts - we teach how to make just about any practical product.

The key to making possible - what seems impossible to do in only 9 days - is group collaboration and team work. We’re passionate

about the power - that focused and structured collaboration unleashes -

and know - that students can transform their lives - when after only this 9 day experience - they can continue to build upon the work by joining our open source community. We continue

Our January event will be held in 3 physical locations.

Belgium, Virginia, and Texas - all running at the same time -creating a

unique opportunity - for all three locations to benefit from each other.

You will collaborate via the internet - with 100% open source toolchains - allowing you to build viable products collectively - in

a fraction of the time -it would take to do on your own - with YouTube videos as your only support.

It's like a crash course for open hardware. You WILL learn, you WILL build relationships and friendships, you WILL have fun, and

you WILL be blown away by what you’re capable of in only 9 days!

We welcome young women and men - of any age - to dive right in - to push the limits of rapid learning - to explore the limits of

what we all can do together- with open hardware technology - through open collaboration. So join us for a fun experience that

will shake your world, expand your mind, and reframe your definition of what’s possible. Enrollment is limited so please register now.
