What a cool idea!
I recently ran into the Workers' Lab, an investment group that empowers
workers by helping fund these kinds of self-motivated efforts.
Might be interesting to collaborate with these folks.

Sounds great to me. I have dreamt of some day teaching
community robotics
classes, and organizing groups to design machines that meet various
community needs. Hot meal prep is a big one I think could help a lot. That
is something I'd like to do in a few years, and I have imagined I could do
it at sudo. I use a term for my work, "community-oriented engineering"
which in contrast to traditional engineering, aims to center community in
the aims of its projects, and to include those communities in the
development process through community education and direct participation.
If you had some angel-funded food making robot and you dropped it in a
community, they would be dependent on your funds for repair, operations,
etc. If you teach a community to build their own food making robot, you
give them the resilience to manage it on their own.
So I think it's a great idea, tho I don't think I would be able to do any
teaching myself for a while due to my schedule.

Hi Sudoers:
Riffing off last night’s Sudoroom visioning meeting: what if part of
Sudoroom’s mission was to expand the number of software developers in the
area using AI this enabling a vision for "local software"?
Train people who are technically savvy and interested in solving problems
for themselves and people around them, but don't want to become
fully-fledged programmers.
