Go from zero to one.

+ +

Teams will submit a slidedeck and a 3-minute elevator pitch describing + the identified problem, along with the team’s corresponding solution. + Mentorship opportunities with young professionals in consumer tech, civic + tech, and data science will be available during ideathon.

+ +

who is it for?

+

Ideathon is an open space for discussion and thoughtful collaboration + across all majors and schools at the university of chicago. All skillsets + are welcome. Technical and non-technical. Quantitative and qualitative.

+ +

We ask that you form teams of 2-4 students. You may register as a + team or as an individual. TechTeam will sort all of the individual + registrants into groups closer to the start date.

+ +

where is it?

+

Virtual. Speaker events, mentor sessions, and ceremonies will be done + through zoom. Participants will be asked to join a Slack channel to + facilitate real-time communication and community engagement during the + event.

+ +

see you there

+

$2,500 worth of food, swag, and prizes for the following winning categories: best + overall, best design, best presentation, most creative, most uchicago, + fan favorite. Grubhub vouchers will also be given to all attendees.

Prompts

-
- -
- -
-
-

technology and democracy

-

before leaving the presidential office, Donald Trump was banned from multiple tech platforms. - -
- how should we balance a company's agency versus potential conflicts in democratic values? - -
what are ways we can measure when one "deserves" to be on such platforms? -

- -

algorithmic bias

-

how do we handle algorithmic bias towards inflammatory content? - -
- consider how a social media company’s business model needs to reconcile with fairness and prevent hate speech and fake news. -

- -

data privacy

-

how can we help people take control of the level of privacy they want on the internet? - -
- what is the next step to transforming the long opt-in user agreements that no one reads to meaningful ways to inform the public about the rights they’re agreeing to? -

- -

environmental sustainability

-

in a world of single-use plastics and fast-pace consumerism, how can we leverage technology to support people who want to adopt a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle? -

- -

education and accessibility

-

how can we help improve tech literacy among the elderly in order to help them stay connected in this digital age? -
what kinds of tools can we build to help underserved consumers of technology? -

- -

digital communities

-

how can we bring people who are spatially apart together virtually in an energizing way (think the opposite of a Zoom lecture)? -
what ways can we promote meaningful exchanges of ideas instead of echo chambers on the internet? -

+

+ +
+
+

Technology and Democracy

+

Nowadays, it's hard to imagine tech being apolitical. There have been outcries about + freedom of speech and censorship. These heavy criticisms are coming from Washington, the court of public opinion, + and even within the organizations themselves. What amendments should be made to Section 230 - if any at all? How + should product builders think about managing their commercial interests with public demands? What mechanisms can + be instituted to hold tech platform executives accountable? +

+ +

Algorithmic Bias

+

“Algorithms are the new oil.” +
+ In 2017, the Economist published their article on data surpassing oil as the world's most valuable resource. However, + as technologist Geoff Lewis pointed out, algorithms - not data - are the new oil. They take points of information + from passive to active and, ultimately, actionable. Consequently, they are sources of national and geopolitical + tension. Think about TikTok's privacy controversy or the criticism of Facebook's newsfeed algorithm amplifying + disinformation. We’ve optimized for efficiency and effectiveness. How should we now evaluate algorithms for their + impact, not input? +

+ +

Data Privacy

+

What gives us a right to privacy online? +
+ How can we help people take control of the level of privacy they want on the Internet? What is the next step to + transforming the long opt-in user agreements that no one reads to meaningful ways to inform the public about the + rights they're agreeing to? +

+ +

Environmental Sustainability

+

Sustainability, particularly in an environmental context, is a favorite buzzword in corporate + and policy circles. In some cases, it is just a front for marginal progress. The last two decades have brought about + improvements in climate technologies and material shifts in attitudes towards our relationship with the environment. However, + it is still inaccessible to most of the world’s population. Therefore, what supply chain innovations are needed to produce and + distribute green tech in transportation, food, housing, and more, at scale? How can incentives between entrepreneurial, moonshot + visions and financial returns be better aligned? Perhaps you are aware of any scientific research that can be commercialized? +

+ +

Education and Accessibility

+

The Biden Administration is planning a $3 to $4 trillion infrastructure bill. Many have argued + that this is an opportunity for much needed improvements to America’s digital infrastructure, which the pandemic exposed as + lacking. Differences in internet access, digital literacy, and software/hardware capabilities obstructed many people in working, + learning, and connecting with others throughout the past year. What kinds of tools can we build to help underserved consumers of + technology? How can we help improve tech literacy among the general population in order to have better informed digital users. Moreover, + given that the internet has been a catalyst for decentralization, what will virtual-first K-12 and higher-ed learning look like? +

+ +

Digital Communities

+

Meet me in the metaverse. +
+ How can we bring people who are spatially apart together virtually in an energizing way - think the opposite of a Zoom lecture? How can we + promote meaningful exchanges of ideas instead of echo chambers on the Internet? +
