Project:Hackspace Challenges
From London Hackspace Wiki
Overview
The idea is this: we hold regular competitions where teams use the hackspace achieve some kind of construction goal in a time-boxed period. Teams will be given a design brief and then will have to design, implement, and refine their solution against the clock.
Team solutions will then be judged and the winning team with get some kind of prize. This is much like small scale Scrap Heap Challenge or The Great Egg Race.
Why?
- Because it will be fun and sociable!
- Publicity - something to blog/tweet about
- Showcase what can be done in the space
- Transfer skills and learn new things
Other thoughts
- Hold it monthly/quarterly?
- Run at weekends to allow sufficient time.
- Inter-hackspace challenges - London vs Build-Brighton etc.
Names
- "The Great Hack Space"
- insert other better names :-)
