Sustainable Global Education Blueprint – One Community Weekly Progress Update #110

Creating a sustainable global education blueprint that will teach people how to live sustainably anywhere in the world can be accomplished. To truly meet the goals of all people, everywhere, this model will combine physical sustainability (food, energy, housing, etc.) and emotional sustainability (education, economics, recreation, etc.). Open source and free-sharing these as a complete model can make this lifestyle an accessible reality for everyone. One Community is doing this as a path to global transformation for The Highest Good of All:

• Here’s our project overview
• Here’s our world-change methodology
• Here’s how this becomes self-replicating
• Here’s how we are open source and free-sharing all the do-it-yourself designs

ONE COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE DETAILS

HIGHEST GOOD EDUCATION PROGRESS

One Community is forwarding a sustainable global education blueprint through Highest Good education that is for all ages, applicable in any environment, adaptable to individual needs, far exceeds traditional education standards, and more fun for both the teachers and the students:

• 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 transferred the first 25% of the written section and images for the “Open Source” lesson plan to the website – which you can see here:

Open Source Lesson Plan – 25% Complete – Click to Visit Page

Behind the scenes we also wrote another 25% of this lesson plan, bringing it to 50% written completion.

Also behind the scenes, we wrote the first 25% of our next lesson plan with the central theme of “Nature“.

We also added the final 70% of the violet section to the Technology and Innovation Molecule webpage, which you can see here. This molecule is now 98% complete, with a few additional points to be researched and added to provide more examples.

• Visit the open source portals for the first two: Earthbag Village OS Hub | Straw Bale Village OS Hub

This last week the core team continued progress on the assembly specifics for the Open Source Murphy bed furniture. This work is happening behind the scenes and what you see here will be part of the Earthbag Village and the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This week we finished cutting lumber and labeling pieces for two back shelves and begin exploring a new shelving and ladder design. We estimate we are now 67% complete with this behind-the-scenes work.

Also, behind the scenes, we finished another 5% of the earthdome loft construction tutorial specifics. This work included lining out details for deck install and looking at possible need to change spacing of joists, sorting out screw sizes, and creating what was needed for an engineer to run loft structural calculations. We’re now 60% complete with this behind-the-scenes work.

Scott Thomas and his Shadow Ridge Signature Architecture Program team finished their part of the work putting the complete Earthbag Village components together in AutoCAD. Here is the 2D layout of the complete village created from our 3D Sketchup files:

Sheng Xu (Mechanical Design Engineer) also finished his third round of SolidWorks design specifics for the 3-dome cluster of the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. This work included adding the door and window specifics. The colored dots you see above the windows and doors are recycled bottles for adding additional artistic and colored natural lighting:

Nelli Levental (Graphic Designer and College Professor) also created these second concept sketches for the earthship village (Pod 6) featuring a stacked design of two levels providing 40 units… this then evolved into a straight design that will take better advantage of passive solar…. and look like this if built into a hill…. These 2-level earthship inspired designs are expandable and will have a central large-scale kitchen, several shared common spaces, and start with sufficient housing for 60-80 people.
