As final project season approaches, you may feel the weight of coming up with a "big" "important" idea. This workshop is about doing the opposite: create a project based on random instructions from a bot. What can you do in 2 hours as a collaboration of three random ICM students with three random things (action, technology, topic) put together?
- ITP Lounge
- Friday, Nov 2nd
- 11am - 2pm
- Bring your laptop and anything else you might want to use to create.
- Arrive at the ITP Lounge at least 5 minutes before 11am on Friday, Oct Nov 2nd.
- Listen to a short schpiel.
- Find your group of three -- link coming soon!
- Generate your project instructions -- link coming soon!
- Start making stuff

- Take a break to eat some delicious dumplings and gather back in the lounge at 1:30pm!

- A successful collaboration requires a combination of autonomy, honesty, and accountability.
- Start discussing the skills you have and the things you are excited about.
- In a learning environment, you should do both things you like, things you want to learn.
- Things no one likes to do should be shared!
Towards the end of ICMadness, we will spend a few minutes documenting your work by creating a post on the ICM Blog. This will include adding a gif of what you have made. To make the gif, you can use giphy.
- Visit the blog link -- link coming soon and login with your NetID and password. (your netID is the same as your email adress, eg - mmg542)
- Once you login, go to the home page -- link coming soon.
- To create a new post, click on the giant plus button on the top right and fill the form that it shows.
- Note: The form field where you put in a gif accepts images/gifs of size < 7MB. You can also add links to your code or video. Make sure to hyperlink all links.
- Once you're done with the form, hit submit and eat some dumplings!
