Building computers for people is a fun way to learn stuff. 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]].

==Recycling==
 
Recycling is Basic in concept and Complex in Practice. The Process of Recycling at Free Geek is always Evolving. Basicley we break down Electronic Waste and seperate the components into different categories. How and what we categorise is always changeing.

==[[Prebuild]] steps==
 
We don't require any prior knowledge for people to join the build program. The steps that precede the build workshops are called, collectively, the "prebuild steps," and teach very basic material that will be needed for people to make their way in the build workshops. Several of these steps can be bypassed by people who know the material already; see [[Testing Out]].
 
 
==Build workshops==
 
The build workshops are the heart of the build program. They run almost every day we're open, and though there are teachers (and often assistants) for each one, are largely peer-taught. There will be a range of extreme beginners to experienced builders in each workshop.
 
 
;QC
 
The first thing builders do in a build workshop is to quality contol 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!
 
 
;Assembly and software
 
More troubleshooting! This is where participants are actually building (putting together) computers and installing the software.
 
* ''Educational goals:'' More in-depth hardware knowledge, use of configuration tools.
 
* ''Material goals:'' Um, we need computers! Reuse is our mission.
