Design Your World

Join us for a fast-paced, multidisciplinary HACKATHON, in which diverse teams of students and faculty will define and propose a system for transparency and feedback regarding sustainability at IE. What does this mean? We want your ideas on what systems or best practices need to be implemented so that students are informed about how their impact affects the local ecosystem of IE and the global world beyond

The ideas will be judged by a board made up of students, faculty and staff. The winning team will bring their final pitch to the IE Sustainability Town Hall to potentially receive funding and implement their ideas.

Event Schedule:
Phase 0: Before the event
- Provide presentation of concept and examples
- Provide framework/rubric for judging

Phase 1: First brainstorming session
The intention of this brainstorming session is to identify main ideas/best practices that will pertain to the overall vision of the project. In this way, students will have a narrower scope based on their collective thought before drafting their final proposals.
3pm – kickoff event with SSC introduction, describe the purpose and schedule of the project, go through the rubric, etc.
3:15pm – Start Hackathon

Phase 2: Final Brainstorming Session and Pitch
Teams will now create a detailed depiction of environment, providing logistics such as what each space will be used for, how it pertains to the themes, budget plan, etc.
4pm – Start second brainstorm and finalize idea/pitch in a presentation format.
5pm – Teams present ideas again, a winning team is chosen to pitch their idea to the Sustainability Town Hall
