The public needs to learn about the success factors of new communities, neighborhoods, residential buildings, and, on the other hand, the failures of projects and the causes for these failures. As you can notice, there are more failure factors that are caused by the geographical area, culture, employment, education, nature, pleasure, and accessibility to travel or public transportation than problems with the construction itself. Of course, we can see failures with construction methods and materials. However, these are easier to handle than changing people's behavior or their reaction to unemployment or the inability to get to a workplace using public transportation.Liat: I want to teach that class. If I could gather all the people in the world who are unemployed, living in places unfit for human habitation, or crammed into overcrowded housing, and motivated to change their reality, I would teach them online the essential elements of what makes a livable home, a connected neighborhood, and a thriving town.I'd teach them how to build based on their geographic location, local planning and construction laws in their area, what available materials they can use, and the kinds of innovations that could help them move forward faster.We need to teach practical employment skills online through the lens of construction, urban renewal projects, and the creation of living environments.Nissim: Don't you think people are already doing that?Liat: No. All that exists online are piles upon piles of videos where mentors teach unemployed people how to become mentors themselves, but that’s not a job or employment or doing something for the environment you live in, and it's needed.What no one has done at scale is exactly this! A global, accessible, practical curriculum that helps people build for their local conditions, using tools to adapt and innovate. Guide them online, watch their progress, and help them solve everyday problems remo
