Build Yourself. Build Your World.
September 1 – November 30, 2021 Factor e Farm, Kansas City, USA
90 days of immersion hands-on builds where you collaborate with a team to build things that will blow you away. Here’s a chance to play with a lifesize Lego set, as we work to deliver the promise of open source hardware to real world change. Happening as 3 main topic areas: construction, CNC machines, and heavy machines. Participate all of 3 months, 1 month, or select specific days. The schedule runs from 8 AM to 5 PM every day. For those who are staying all 3 months, we expect that you pace yourself – get good sleep every day and manage your energy level.

Open Source Ecology is accelerating the growth of the next economy - the Open Source Economy - an economy that optimizes both production and distribution - while promoting environmental regeneration and social justice. We are building the Global Village Construction Set. This is a high-performance, modular, do-it-yourself, low-cost platform - that allows for the easy fabrication of the 50 different industrial machines that it takes - to build a small, sustainable civilization with modern comforts.
