This year we are doing the Summer of Extreme Design-Build. We have a $250k program budget, and are inviting a large number of subject matter experts to teach in a Residency format - anywhere from a few days to 3 months in length.

The concept is to invite a dream team of Residents - such that a large number of participants sign up. We are aiming for 200 participants, and a veritable first implementation of Civilization 100.

Residents and instructors are paid, and participants pay to fund the program so the program is self-sustaining financially. The focus of the program is civilization-grade engineering - including design for extreme affordability and solving housing. The program centers around building future fab cities (play on words fabulous and fabrication) reflecting advanced civilization where nobody is left behind. This starts with upgrading humans to extreme capacity through Extreme Education, Extreme Manufacturing, and Extreme Enterprise.

The housing program and structure of Summer X rollout involves:

The civilization engineering program can shift between learning and production, and is implemented in 3 month cycles.

All tracks support the Enerprise Formation Track - which is a program that starts with making affordable, ecological housing widely accessible - but ends with wholesale reconstruction of the world around us. This includes agriculture, manufacturing, education, healthcare, governance, finance, and other areas of human endevor transformed into systems that work for everyone.
