CEB Workshop Planning

TODAY

CORE GOAL (review Goals) - By teaching people as much as we can about the topic, we are educating developers. The Extreme Build is bait. Our approach is to generate Entrepreneurs first - because any entrepreneur who build these machines is likely to engage in development. Crowdsource Improvements on everything.

1. Video of machine assembly. Tests the files and shares the overview.
2. Signup + Pay Structure. No streaming plan for now.
3. Announcement poster - marketing to Developer market segment. To get Developers, we need to Educate Developers. Expose source for crowdsourced improvements.
4. Financial Model (include annual cost of facility overhead and insurance)
5. Curriculum - rough cut
6. Marketing Plan. Done when 24 people are signed up.

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

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
