A Guide to Orchestrating a Hybrid Hackathon
Unsure of how to conduct this learning symphony? Fear not! We've assembled a playbook to help you set the stage for a successful hybrid hackathon. Imagine it as a maestro's handbook - your guide to understanding the score and performing it to its full potential.
Our playbook suits any societal challenge you and your students wish to tackle. It's as adaptable as an accomplished musician, prepared to play the most intricate symphony and the simplest tune. Whether you're dreaming of a local classroom hackathon or envisioning a grand European-scale hybrid event, all the notes you need are here.
The playbook harmonizes four key movements in the symphony of a hybrid hackathon:
Before the hybrid hackathon: Think of this as your warm-up session - your planning phase.
Running the hybrid hackathon: Here's the performance - our pedagogical vault is brimming with everything you need to conduct and facilitate a successful hackathon.
Closing the hybrid hackathon: Your curtain call - where you showcase the remarkable achievements and results.
After the hackathon: Post-performance analysis, we capture the learnings and arrange for follow-up.
As a delightful encore, we have a section featuring success stories and vital learnings from past performances.
Throughout the playbook, you'll find three types of content, each serving a unique purpose:
The Playbook: This section provides the theory and rationale behind each step. It offers context, background, and a guided explanation of every measure you'll need to set up and run your hackathons. It's your guiding score, applicable to any setting or scenario.
The Canvasses: These tools are your music sheets, guiding you through each step. They offer a facilitated way to find the answers you need in a structured and clear manner. Involve your fellow musicians (other teachers, students, stakeholders) and let the canvasses guide your process.
The Toolkits: Specifically designed for the #edufoodhack, these toolkits include practical communication and marketing materials like letters, flyers, emails, and posters. It's the stage setup, the lighting, the printed programs - everything that helps your performance look as impressive as it feels. The goal is to allow you to focus on conducting the hackathon instead of getting lost in the backstage logistics.
In the spirit of orchestrating the best possible learning experience, we aim to do the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on what you do best – teaching and facilitating. So, here's to making your hybrid hackathon as harmonious as possible!
