Common Ground Makeathon: Design x Tech x Culture
COMMON GROUND — One Day Creative Tech Makeathon Build at the intersection of design × technology x culture on 11th October at SQ Collective Singapore (in person) — experiment with new ways of making, interacting, expressing, and experiencing. Choose from two tracks:Design × Tech Culture × Tech No fixed medium or outcome — build a website, visual experiment, AI experience, speculative prototype, or something we don't have a name for yet. Solo or squad — register individually and create or join teams up to 3. Build with CodexAll participants will receive Codex credits A short onboarding will help you get started with Codex and other partner tools. USD $5,000 Codex credits prize pool — projects from both tracks will be presented and judged at the end of the event. All backgrounds welcome — you don't need to be a designer, artist or engineer. Just bring fun and curious vibes!! What's common ground? “I’m not technical.” Okay. And? Somewhere along the way, we decided that technology belonged to the people who knew how to code it. Before code was code, it was holes punched into cards telling a loom which threads to lift. Ada Lovelace noted that the Analytical Engine “weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard-loom weaves flowers and leaves.” Two centuries later, NASA looked to origami to figure out how to fold enormous structures into spacecraft. A surprising amount of the world exists because somebody followed a thought beyond where their expertise was supposed to end. Common Ground is a one-day makeathon exploring what happens when creative people from different disciplines are given the same tools and space to experiment. Designers, researchers, architects, filmmakers, historians, students, technologists, musicians, educators, enthusiastic amateurs, and people who clicked “register” before figuring out which one they are. If you have a way of seeing the world that someone else in the room might not have, you're useful here. What are you signing up for? We’re
