​​​WHAT ⭐️:

​​​• Ekkolápto is repurposing the hackathon format as a generalized method of originating highly unconventional projects with little to no oversight or limitations that occur in larger organizations.

​​• Hosted by: Addy (Ekkolapto.org).

​​• Photos and video by Ekkolápto. Previous events at MIT and FAU.

​​​WHEN 🗓️:

​​​• Tuesday April 22nd from 2PM EDT to 8PM EDT (might go later).

​​​WHO 👀:

​​​• Insanely curious and driven thinkers across biology and medicine, mathematics, physics, consciousness and cognitive science, AI and computing, philosophy, music and visual arts, or some field yet to be defined.

​• If you're not sure whether you'd be a fit for this event or not, apply anyways!

​​​SCHEDULE 🗒️:

​​​• Try to get here about 10-15mins before start time!

​• 2PM to 2:30PM: Addy will be presenting the main task of this cognitive hackathon–how to get more out of less. We will give you an odd singular object (like a string) and your goal will be to create an unconventional calculator, computer, instrument, or tool for a defined purpose within those extreme limitations. Constraints force creativity! Previous example: Origami Computing.

​• 2:30PM to 7:30PM: Building Time!

​• 7:30PM to 8PM (might go later into the night): Final Results and Presentations.

​​WHERE📍:

​​• Located in Florida Atlantic University's Rubin Gruber AI Sandbox.
