SUMMARY:Food Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:There are only limited spots still available to participate in this October’s Food Hackathon. Join the more than 90 Cornell students already registered who will be tackling a variety of food innovation challenges and competing for cash prizes generously provided by our event sponsors. \nNo team? No problem. Kinda nervous? No worries\, most students are. We’re here to support you every step of the way. It’s fun\, memorable\, and you’ll meet new people\, make new friends\, and increase your confidence. \nFor more information\, including the weekend schedule and registration link\, see https://foodhackathon.splashthat.com/. \nSee how synergistic thinking can drive innovative solutions. Pitch an idea or join a team Wednesday and Thursday October 18&19\, then participate in the Hackathon Friday evening October 20 starting at 5pm\, continuing Saturday and Sunday October 21-22\, all in Stocking Hall. \nA hackathon acts as a catalyst to spur innovation\, collaboration\, and discovery through a highly facilitated event that enables teams to design and prototype solutions. Over the course of a weekend\, approximately 150 Cornell undergraduate and graduate students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds will develop a broad range of ideas and skills as they address challenges in the hackathon’s focal areas in food innovation and sustainability. \nWe help you find a team\, come up with an idea\, and support you with mentorship\, workshops\, food\, swag\, and more. \nAbout the food hackathon\nFood systems\, safety\, upcycling\, waste reduction\, nutrition\, CPG. The world population is expected to exceed 9 billion by the middle of this century. Nearly a billion people around the world still suffer from hunger and poor nutrition. Major changes to food production\, processing\, and distribution systems are needed to ensure people everywhere have access to safe\, sufficient\, affordable\, and nutritious food. \nThe transformation of global food systems will rely on the combined expertise\, vision\, experience\, and commitment of researchers\, educators\, entrepreneurs\, and consumers as well as industry practitioners working collectively to catalyze new ideas\, drive innovation\, and motivate change.  Skills and knowledge from food scientists\, nutritionists\, engineers\, social scientists\, manufacturers\, and more are needed to foster solution-oriented scientific discoveries to advance our transformative goals. \nWith the resources and mentors we gathered\, it’s your opportunity to explore the impact you can make in food innovation and sustainability. It’s time to take your ideas from concept to reality. Workshops\, speakers\, sponsors\, mentors\, networking\, cash prizes\, and more!\n150 students + 50 mentors + $10\,000 in cash prizes = 1 life changing weekend Join us for ~36 hours to cook up your food innovation! From a previous Hackathon student participant: \n“A HACKATHON IS RUNNING A MARATHON AND THEN A MENTOR COMES ALONG AND GIVES YOU A BICYCLE” \nThe schedule\nOctober 18 – Wednesday  \n7:30 – 9:00PM Team Formation Session I (in-person)\nAttend if you are interested in pitching an idea or challenge and discussing it to recruit prospective teammates.

But being a logic bully is going to shut down the receiver. We need empathy to realize the other person doesn’t know what you know\, believe what you believe\, or want what you want. When we make a point\, we establish our power in one way or another\, but we probably don’t change very much. If all you do is make a point\, you’ve handed them a story about yourself. When you make a change\, you’ve helped them embrace a new story about themselves.\n10:30 AM – 12:30 PMTeam Updates & Mentoring\nOne member of every team reports to an audience of mentors their teams: Progress\, Needs\, and Goals.
