TODAY

Main goal-

  1. Video of machine assembly
  2. Signup + Pay Structure.
  3. Financial Model (include annual cost of facility overhead and insurance)
  4. Curriculum - rough cut
  5. Marketing Plan. Done when 24 people are signed up.
  6. Announcement poster - marketing to Developer market segment. To get Developers, we need to Educate Developers. Expose source for crowdsourced improvements.


CORE GOAL (review Goals) - by teaching people as much as we can about the topic, we are educating developers. Our approach is to generate Entrepreneurs first - because any entrepreneur who build these machines is likely to

1. Flyer - CROWD SOURCED flyer that improves with time! Allow people to participate in it - what would you like to see on the flyer that would make you attend? Crowd source the content and the template itself. Reward: 50% off the workshop admission.

  • CROWDSOURCED CONTENT improvement of flyer
  • CROWDSOURCED TEMPLATE improvement of flyer
  • CROWDSOURCED REWARD. Chip-In or equivalent for the specific flyer.

DO then CROWDSOURCE EXECUTION IMPROVEMENTS.

  • learn to weld
  • cut and assemble a complete laser cut scale model
  • 3d print a complete scale model of the brick press
  • zero-to-maker
  • build a machine in a day
  • Sketchup - lesson - Google doc with main skills and with links to videos.
  • Badge

Schedule

DAY 1

3-11 pm

-3 pm - CAD - Sketchup, FreeCAD, LibreCAD crash course. Style: complete instructional online. Course videoed. Class is hands-on assistance. On Ubuntu. -4 pm - Fritzing and Upverter crash course -5 pm - laser cutting crash course - intro and use of Lasersaur for a full scale model build -6 pm - documentation and video production - OpenShot, vid assets library, remote participants, etc. -6pm - welding, drilling, grinding, torching, hand tools. - extensive list. Survey of topics - Crash Courses


- 1 hr crash course on welding, torching, grinding, and drilling. - 1 hr crash course on Fritzing electronics design for artists and entrepreneurs - 1 hr arduino über modular micro controller - 1 hr crash course on hydraulics + build of the MicroCube. No cooler. Cuts 1" steel slabs. - 1 hr -lea - Learn Sketchup - uber lesson - yes! -learn


2. Curriculum - first cut + crowd source. CROWDSOURCED For this to work. Give perspective on what is available at FeF -learn to use an open source laser cutter - for scale modeling. -Amazing curriculum. -3 Instructors - Marcin -James Slade/Dan


3. CNC torch table - BUILD YOURSELF + Develop CNC controller! Wireless!!! 2. 1. Flyer template 2. Flyer one-pager 3. Announcement for website - focus on the Entrepreneur, Zero-to-Maker, Build Yourself. Collaborate with Techshop, David Lang. 4. CAD review and points forward -frame, drawer, hopper, etc - points going forward -redo hopper if time allows - but publish existing hopper - new hopper simplifies fabrication. Too stiff connection - can we loosen it? - cut sharp corners on hopper -fab sourcing - only error is the long piece- 1x3 for verticals - known issues, problem statements - hopper angle of repose
