Beautiful Oakland: A Civic Tech Idea-A-Thon

**Please reserve your ticket on [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/a-beautiful-oakland-a-civic-tech-idea-a-thon-tickets-1996656041970?aff=luma&utm_source=luma)!** ​Presented by Northeastern University Oakland and OpenOakland. ​**Interested in volunteering to support OpenOakland's Tech Week events? Sign up [here](https://forms.gle/EVdxLc6sCjJcn2HG9?utm_source=luma)!** ​The Beautiful Oakland: Civic Tech Idea-A-Thon is a focused, energizing half-day event that brings Oakland residents, students, technologists, and city officials together to generate fresh ideas for tackling illegal dumping and improving the physical environment in Oakland. ​The event opens with an expert panel - a mix of government and community leaders will ground participants in the problem and what's already been tried. Attendees will then take part in structured ideation workshop, practicing critical design thinking skills along the way: individual idea generation, sharing within small groups, and narrowing down ideas. Groups will then iterate on and scope their strongest idea, then present it back to the full room. Top ideas are documented as brief canvases (problem, solution sketch, feasibility, suggested next step) so they can be picked up later for a class project, a policy conversation, a pilot, or a future hackathon.

Gaga (Handball/Dodgeball variation) & Other Lawn Games @ Alameda Gaga Court

Join us for games of **GAGA**! Gaga is similar to handball and is a low-impact, fast moving fun game that rotates players quickly, so its a great way to meet new people and keep moving! The location of the court on Alameda island is here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8 ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/VeqmD6oz6AbAksYB8) The rules of Gaga are super simple and as follows: * *All players start with one hand touching a wall of the pit.* * *The game begins with a referee throwing the ball into the center of the pit.* * *Once the ball is in play, any player can hit the ball with an open or closed hand.* * *If a ball touches a player below the knee (even if the player hits himself or herself) they are out and they leave the pit. If a player is hit above the knees, the play continues.* * *Players cannot hold the ball* If you have any other games like spike ball, cornhole, or soccer or volleyballs, please feel free to bring them as well! We will have some additional activities set up on the sides for people to play and socialize while in between games of gaga.
