About Event

we're hosting our first ideathon and if you were at the kickoff, you already know the vibe. if you weren't, now's your chance.

so what's an ideathon?

we give you a prompt and your job is to come up with the craziest, most creative invention or solution you can think of. no limits, no wrong answers, just big ideas.

you'll work in small groups of 4-6 people, have time to actually flesh out your concept, and then pitch it in 3 minutes followed by 2 minutes of q&a.

a rubric will be provided so you know what we're looking for going in.

whether you're the type to go full chaos mode or you like to think things through, there's a spot for you here. all you need to bring is your brain and a willingness to have fun with it.

and yes, there will be food. and yes, there will be a prize. we wouldn't have it any other way.

dm us on instagram if you need help getting there or want to coordinate a carpool! :)
