[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Deconstruction Project 013

[Sean Cusack]

Hello all -

Check the forwarded e-mail below about an event that a really awesome maker
planner is designing. TL;DR version - make something insane in 48 hours
flat. Use any space, use any team size. Have the team on webcam while you
are doing it too! I've got a team going under my biz / art name (Sheet
Metal Alchemist), and anyone is welcome to join, but I'd encourage more
teams to pop in as well! Forward far and wide!

Does someone have a good contact for the Hacker Moms / Hacker Scouts? There
is a specific call to incorporate younger makers as well, and I think this
would be right up their alley!

Sean

Hi friends,

Hope everyone is doing well.  I'm writing you all to tell you that today we
are launching a test event for a project I've been working on for wayyy too
long called "The Deconstruction".

The event will take place Feb 22-24 (yes, in a month).  It's a
decentralized, 48-hour creative competition for all ages and skill
backgrounds. It has a heavy focus on doing more with less, problem solving,
and integrating young people.   www.thedeconstruction.org

Most of you who participated in Red Bull Creation know how the streaming
stuff works from last year.  For this event, we're going to run a
host-stream, but instead of 12 teams, we're looking to have as many streams
going as possible.

We would, of course, love your involvement!!!  If you're interested, we
thought it'd be cool to ask teams we know from Red Bull Creation to include
some young people on your team (High School or Jr. High Age).  Mentorship
and skill-sharing is an important part of the event.

The Deconstruction is a competition, but it's pretty light-hearted....it's
really just a way to bring people together from as many places as possible,
and create new stuff.  It is a non-profit project, and has no brand backing
(but we will have great prizes..).  It's also a bit of an experiment--you
can make almost anything, (not just physical objects).

I also wanted to let you know that we will be running another Red Bull
Creation event this year.  It is going back to a physical event format and
there will be a qualifier that takes place in April.  It's going to be
pretty awesome.  We will be sending a separate email about that in late
March.

We would definitely appreciate any help you can provide in getting the word
out about the event.   Hope to see you all soon...

Best,
Jason
