 Building computers for people is a great way to learn. The build program is a structured way for volunteers to contribute to the cause and learn about hardware and basic troubleshooting and Linux skills. Builders can also earn a computer, but the time commitment is significant and the computer is the same as that earned in the [[Adoption Program]].

 The first thing builders do in a build workshop is to quality control computers built by other builders. They use several Free Geek specific scripts and follow a checklist.
 * ''Educational goals:'' Learning to use scripts and other utilities, basic troubleshooting, seeing the pitfalls others fall into.
-* ''Material goals:'' Make sure the [[FreekBox]]en, [[Grantbox]]en, and [[Storebox]]en are ready to go out the door!

-More troubleshooting! This is where participants are actually building (putting together) computers and updating the software.

-The build workshops are the heart of the build program. They run twice a day every day we're open, and though there are teachers (and often assistants) for each one, they are largely peer-taught. In most of the workshops, the builders will range from extreme beginners to experienced builders.

 Desktop builders can help out their mobile brethren by running laptops through quality control and diagnostics.  There is a lot of overlap with desktop QCs as well as some quirks specific to laptops.
 * ''Educational goals:'' Learning to use scripts and other utilities, basic troubleshooting, and an introduction to laptop hardware.
