April 1st falls on a workday this year, so we’re moving the absurdity to Saturday. In a single day, make something absurdly brilliant in any format (prototype, mockup, performance, visual poem, diagram/flowchart, etc.) and present it in 5 minutes or less. Winner(s) are chosen by in-person audience voting (stickers/tokens). An absurdly massive prize pool. Come solo or with a team. Rough schedule 11:00 arrival, setup 11:10 kickoff + quick rules 11:15 optional icebreaker + 1-minute idea pitch (if you want to find a team or recruit teammates) 11:30–18:15 build time (informal check-ins along the way if needed) \~18:30 presentations (5 min per team) + audience voting (IRL) \~19:45 awards 20:00 end
