Work

Work focuses on hands-on development, with prior reading materials reviewed before the meeting. Each meeting starts with a 5 minute assessment or exam of last week's learnings, discussion of that work's week, and ends with a preview to next week's content. Work focuses on FreeCAD design followed by build for any of the development items. Typically, we work with existing designs in FreeCAD, we redesign/upgrade them, and prototype the new design. At all times, we decide on where to freeze the design vs make improvements

The program is designed for 20 hr/week minimum. If a candidate
