1. Define your problem
   1. What areas of knowledge do you personally know a lot about, or care enough to do in-depth research on?
2. Throw ALL your ideas down.
   1. No idea is too big or too small, too wild or too tame, feasible or impossible.
3. Now, let’s filter.
4. Best idea formats that win hackathons
5. Designate starter roles (front-end, back-end, design, team lead, etc.)
   1. These can rotate or switch as the night goes on. Remember, the most important thing is that we learn something new!
   2. Feel free to dive deeper into your zone of genius, or expand outwards.
