net2local hackathon idea generator from caravan studios
DESCRIPTION
A Generator is a facilitated group session designed to surface moments where technology can be helpful. This process is used to inform hackathon projects with ideas for social good. NetSquared organizers can facilitate Generators to surface community needs to TechSoup's Caravan Studios where ideas are shaped into tools communities can use. Generators can be facilitated without any training or extensive preparation--there are hidden slides (viewable once you download the presentation) that walk you through the process.TRANSCRIPT
