Science x Kickstarter Hackathon

Interactive Telecommunications Program 

NYU Tisch School of the Arts

February 28 & March 1

10:00 am - 10:00 pm

Join a weekend of collaboration and creativity — scientists, artists, designers, writers, and makers working together to bring their ideas to life!

Who should apply?

You’re an amateur or professional scientist with a strong idea but are finding it challenging designing a compelling Kickstarter project.

You’re an artist, designer, writer or maker who wants to use your skills to help bring a project to life in a field you love — science!

How will this work?

Scientists: Pitch your project idea in the form of a Kickstarter project draft. You can get started here. Make sure you fill out at least the project description, but the more information you provide, the better. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just a rough sketch of what you plan to do.

Designers, artists, writers, and makers: Sign up for the event on Eventbrite and include a short statement about what drives your excitement to participate, or a link to a project you love with a paragraph about why you love it. Bonus points for both!

We’ll get back to you with a list of projects that need collaborators. The event will be held at ITP. Food and beverages will be provided. Members of Kickstarter’s Outreach team will be available to guide the selected projects to launch, fulfillment and beyond!

 

Deadlines to apply: 

 

Scientists: 

Email your project preview link to science@kickstarter.com with the subject line SCIxKSR submission. Project drafts must be submitted by 10am EST Monday, January 26. Your acceptance will be confirmed by end of day Friday January 30.

Support towards travel and accommodation available for scientists based outside New York. If you require travel or accommodation support include a rough breakdown of your costs along with why support is needed in the Risks and challenges section of your project draft.

Designers, artists, writers, and makers: 

The Eventbrite will be open for signups until 10am EST Friday, February 20.
