As New Yorkers, we all have a healthy obsession with our city. But sometimes, the feeling is similar to that of a love-hate relationship. New York City is the greatest city in the world, but there are certain things about it that we could improve upon.
For example, could we eliminate homelessness? Could bus and subway lines improve? Can we stop hunger, or lessen food insecurity in the city? Are there better ways to dispose of electronic waste?
As a city, we have the ability find the answers to these problems and more. It all starts with a collaborative brainstorming session. Were giving you the opportunity to come together in a creative environment at our
Idea Jam 4NYC
Friday, October 16th
Zahn Center @Marshak
We encourage you to participate in this day-long brainstorming session with fun, engaging workshops led by the Design Gym. You'll essentially form a think tank for NYC charged with the challenge of creating new technologies that will solve the citys major civic issues.
A list of issues will be curated by NYC's leading public officials — and many will be at the event (a great opportunity to network)!
A $1,000 Grand Prize will be awarded to the winning team! Plus, there will be other opportunities to win prizes like mentorship hours with Standard Chartered Bank employees AND fast-track your application into the Zahn Center's Venture Competitions.
