Local Self-Education

The Obeya Room should display a curriculum map which includes both current and desired content for the neighborhood. It must include curriculum and content for Neighborhood Financial Systems, Model of Social Systems and Ethical Systems.

This is were Noah Williams, possibly Kerry Turner, and I will deploy a prototype for free open source education revealed through the FedWiki, and based upon Wikipedia and YouTube resources using Wikiversity resources and intended for neighborhood education.

See Christopher Alexander's Network of Learning pattern at Brain .

The graphs below are **EXPLORATORY**, partial, and too large. There is work to be done before they make useful sense to others.

They are taken from a large graph created by five high school students in Ferndale WA, in the Spring of 2017. What I really like about them is that this is what these students agreed they wanted to understand prior to living independently.

How would these five students have wanted to approach their focused learning, what we could call Course Work until a better name if found?
