Joan and Walter Mondale Commons, Humphrey School of Public Affairs, August 3 - 5
This. Is. Not. A. Hackathon. The 7th World Conference Buildathon explores how "Human Technology" —such as storytelling, music, movement, and community-mapping—can serve as a qualitative remedy to ethnic and racial inequality. Spanning the entire conference, the buildathon invites conference participants to share experiences and stories of resonance through an interactive, hybrid (digital and human) story collection process. Ultimately, the buildathon team will co-create and share back a digital tapestry of 7th World Conference experiences and community offerings related to Conference themes.
