- Learn about the components: Education open source hub
- Learn how the components work together: How to use the Education for Life Program
This last week the core team finished the final 50% of the Love Lesson Plan behind the scenes, then we finished the first 25% of the related mindmap, and we got the first 50% of the webpage created. You can see all of this work here:

- See what we’ll be growing: Gardens & Hoop Houses | Large-scale Structures | Food Forest | TA
This last week the core team finished three more complete breakout pages from the large-scale gardening page. These included the Corn page, the Cucumber page, and the Eggplant page. All with detailed descriptions, planting guidelines, cultural considerations, and this new format that loads faster and gives us the space we’ll need to add recipes, gardening tips, harvesting and canning tips, videos and more. Contact us if you have any great resources related to either of these plant species. Here are snapshots of the three pages:

This last week the core team finished final formatting and additional details for another 25% of the earthbag construction dome home energy infrastructure instructional webpage component of the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This brings us to 75% complete here and, when we’re complete, this will be the most detailed and comprehensive dome-home electrical instructional available.

Behind the scenes we’re also now done with 15% of the plumbing instructional that will be equally as detailed.
In addition to this, we added the energy rollout and phasing-in details for 50-100 people creating off-grid village energy infrastructure. You can see see this here and the rest of the phase-in details for 10-20 people and 20-50 people are on the complete page:

We also completed an assessment of all components in the sustainable village models and their individual peak wattage contributions that you can see here:
Emergency Power Peak Wattage Pairto
We combined this with this new assessment of the total energy contributions. All of this was to assist with our strategy in the event of a power emergency. If you want to read about it, complete explanations are in the new FAQ section of the Highest Good Energy page that can be reached directly by clicking on either image:

Dave Walen (Architectural Drafter & Designer and owner of Dave Philip Walen Design) also began a redesign of the Straw Bale Village (Pod 2) to eliminate the rounded walls to make this village model significantly easier and more affordable to build. Here is this redesign:
