Kickoff
An overview of how the weekend will work, opportunities for people to introduce themselves, and general milling-around getting-to-know-you open space time.
Intro to OLPC and OLPC Health
Seth Woodworth and Mel Chua explain the history, technology, and goals of the OLPC project and what the new Health initiative plans to accomplish (and how you can get involved this weekend and beyond). The session will likely not last a full hour - any extra time will run over into the Rocket pitch activity.
Rocket pitch activity
Run by Mel Chua.
Not sure what to work on? Not sure what can be worked on? Want to get started, meet people, and help us decide what will be worked on this weekend? Get your creative juices flowing during this icebreaker activity where small teams generate and pitch Health project ideas (that fit a set of predefined silly constraints) to the rest of the crowd in 20 minutes or less. And then do it again. And then try to turn these ideas into actual projects for the weekend - we'll leave the session with a full brainstorm wall of project ideas along with - hopefully - some project groups to work on those ideas during the Jam.
