2014 Summer of Extreme Design-Build
Introduction
OSE carries out most of its overall development at its headquarters - Factor e Farm - a 30 acre facility in the Kansas City area of Missouri.
Development happens most intensively during our Summer of Extreme Design/Build. In 2014, we will emphasize swarming – using a group of 24-30 dedicated developers working on a single machine or module each week. In this way, rapid development and prototyping occurs on the time scale of a week – harnessing a weekly effort on the order of 1000 development hours. This is focused on University students – though anyone can join. We may consider financial assistance to those in need.

An additional benefit of participating for a month or longer is that you get to participate in any Workshops taking place at Factor e Farm during the time of your stay.
