buildspace

you made it to s5. let's begin.

make sure you've completed all steps before our first lecture on tuesday.

01 — watch the kickoff

we had our s5 kickoff already. if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you watch it before our first lecture. this gives you a rundown of how this thing works + clarity around structure for the next six weeks.

it's not actually 2+ hours.

it starts at: 24:14.
ends at: 1:53:29

02 — rsvp to the next four events.

go ahead and rsvp for the next 4 streams.

for the next 6-weeks we'll have streams tuesday and thursday at 10:30am pt. that's the schedule.

rsvp to each individually.

we also have master calendar here to make it easy.

watch the video below to see how to subscribe to the calendar. note it's confusing but the word "subscribe" does nothing lol.

also, they will be recorded but we highly recommend showing up live — even if it's not convenient. often people say they'll watch the recordings and then never do. live forces you to show up.

at 0:14 we show you how you can sub to the calendar.

for the next 6-weeks we'll have streams tuesday and thursday at 10:30am pt. that's the scheudle.

03 — get familiar with ur house.

each house is different. and tbh, it's better to just let you feel the vibes for yourself.

so, we created a homes for each house: spectreseek.com, alterok.com, gaudmire.com, erevald.com.

each site has music + art that fits the house vibe.

check them out.

also each site will include desktop wallpapers + mobile wallpapers we made for you too. if you use these, be sure to show us! it'll make us happy :).

04 — buildspace os.

we built an os for you for s5. we update it frequently with important info such as recordings, schedules, weekly update links + vids.

download it as an extension here + watch this 60s video on how to install it.

note: it only works on chromium browsers that uses tabs (ex. chrome, brave, etc). if you aren't on a supported browser (ex. arc, firefox) then set this as your homepage.

s5 has a friend — sage.

we'll be iterating on sage as the season goes on, but it can already do some pretty crazy stuff.

here are some really cool examples.

search ppl up in your city:
"who are some people mixing art and hardware in bangalore?"
find ppl based on your profile:
"who are some people you need could help me based off of my profile"
look for builders in different domains:
"who are builders tryna solve environmental problems"
ask sage about your house:
"what house am i. also anyone cool in my house."

fk around with sage and try shit out. and let us know what's cool and what sucks about it at support@buildspace.so

we're kinda everywhere now.

socials are an extremely important part of n&w.

it's where you'll actually get a "feel" for other people here.

throughout the season we'll highlight a lot of you, post reminders, all types of stuff.

it used to be that we only hung out on twitter. but now, we're posting stuff on every platform and we have a different vibe on each.

i highly recommend you follow all 8 of these.

we'll post hella reminders + shenanigans.
