This also assumes the time you spend making 100k kites is worth nothing to you. Say you can make 20 kites in an hour (1 every 3 minutes), and you work for 15 hours every day. It will take you 333 days to finish that on your own.

We just need a few hundred people working on them. 300 kites per person is much more doable. Even better, I'm sure we could find some place overseas where we could hire help to assemble them for relatively low cost

that's just the $5 kites with more steps

So, a little less than a year. Working on building kites. For free. Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
