The Annual ITP Stupid Hackathon has been covered in The Washington Square News and Futurism for our students' wacky, playful projects.
Excerpt from Washington Square News:
"
Hunkering down at 370 Jay Street in Brooklyn for a whopping 12 hours, a group of NYU students, alongside creatives from peer schools and local hacker organizations, put their heads together on Saturday to engineer absurd inventions — a device that binds you to your last pinky promise and a table that curses when you lean on it, just to name a few. These bizarre devices target oddly specific — and stupid — goals.
Organized by the graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program at the Tisch School of the Arts, NYU’s ITP Stupid Hackathon served as a space for underground experimentation and a playground for silliness. The event challenged participants to use different forms of digital and physical technology to design the stupidest inventions possible.
