THE EVENT
One: The RappathonFebruary 15th, 10amLocation: RAPP New York, 437 Madison Ave, 3rd Fl.
Methodology: Design in MotionEach team/person will pitch ideas in an ideation session in the morning moderated by RAPP’s head of cultural strategy. The collective team will narrow down the ideas to four. Each idea will be assigned to a team and attached to a specific station. After the first two hours of work teams will rotate throughout all four stations making new connections and/or contributing to all other ideas.
It’s a musical chairs type of hackathon, like drawing an exquisite corpse where everyone draws one line each and passes to the next person. RAPP facilitators will be attached at each station to provide continuity, help teams, answer questions, etc.
At the end each team will come back to their original stations to finalize and refine the story and functional object that will be presented at the Social Media Week panel on 02/17.
Two: The PanelFebruary 17th, 10amLocation: Global Society Content Hub at Big Fuel 40 W23rd Street, New York City
Methodology: Panel DiscussionPanelists and team participants will introduce the methodology, present each idea, and the findings/key learnings on the collaboration experiment.
