Overview

Build offline-first, solar-powered, low-energy, community-based tools that meaningfully support a commune, eco-village, neighborhood resilience hub, or solarpunk garden collective. Learn to create resilient local infrastructure that works without internet, cell towers, or cloud services. All proceeds from this workshop are donated to CyberPony Express, supporting decentralized communication infrastructure.

What You'll Master

- Working Meshtastic mesh network (bring a friend or multiple nodes - mesh networking requires 2+ devices) - Local WiFi-hosted information hub - Solar-powered field node prototype - Resilience blueprint for scaling from garden to commune to neighborhood **Note:** Building a mesh network requires multiple nodes. We recommend either bringing a friend to the workshop or purchasing 2+ Meshtastic devices.
