Ever had a question that stuck in your head—something you wish you could map, analyze, or visualize? Now’s your chance.
🕵️ Can I map out corporate and government corruption based on their interactions?
🎶 Can I find movies based on emotions instead of genres?
💸 Are all skincare products really just the same thing in different bottles?
🗺️ Can I optimize my travels by balancing flexibility with smart planning?
🤖 Can I build an AI that rewrites history in different storytelling styles?
(More ideas at the event! You can also bring your own!)
