Hack the MIX Hackathon
While submitting our M-prize entry was an incredible experience for my team, I would have loved more interaction with other finalists. The stories were incredible and I would love to learn from the awesome contributors. Perhaps the judges could do a little match making by pairing finalists and encouraging them to help each other improve their hack/intervention. The “prize” could be something that rewarded collaboration and dialogue. In my early experience with the MIX, we did a lot together; I felt a part of something. It was fun and I extended my network. Of course it was summer and I had more time to participate but I’m glad I had that experience, it bonded me to the MIX.
I love this idea. What a great way to extend your personal network and connect with other finalists. Along the same lines, maybe we should host a reception prior to the next MIX Mashup for M-Prize finalists to meet in person and get some quality time to spend together. This would be a nice way to ensure some meaningful relationships and conversations have already occurred before the mashup even officially begins.
I like this idea a lot! I think there is a lot that you get when you bounce ideas off other like-minded people from across the world... If you could pick themes out from the entries and require collaboration that might be a tremendous experience!
