Hacker Cooling Contraption Challenge, brought to you by the TeleChallenge
Hybrid Contest
Friday and Saturday: 10:00-18:00; Sunday: 10:00-13:00
We would like to see cancer become a thing of the past, and you can help. How? Join the Hacker Cooling Contraption Challenge, brought to you by the TeleChallenge. Here's how it works:
1. Accept our Challenge. If you accept the Challenge, you're also committing to nominate three people to join you.
2. Take a video of yourself dumping a bucket of ice water over your head in combination with a Contraption of your construction to lower your temperature and raise awareness of cancer. Trust us, it's way easier to do this during the summer in Vegas than at Halifax Analytica headquarters in the winter.
3. Post the audio to the TeleChallenge voice BBS challenging up to three others using their phone number, or post a video to https://defcon.social or your social media of choice using the hashtag #HackerCoolingContraption and the following:
- Your handle
- Who challenged you
- A statement of acceptance ("I agree that I am responsible for my own hacker cooling actions, I understand that water is wet, and I promise not to sue the TeleChallenge or DEF CON" or something to that effect)
- The handles of 3 people you are nominating
- A link to a nonprofit cancer research project or charity of your choice that you have chosen to support
- A mention of your contribution (including cash, cryptocurrency, volunteer hours, or computing resources), if any
Suggested: Make a contribution of your choice to support cancer research. You may want to check nonprofit and charity quality here: https://www.charitynavigator.org/
RULES
1. You can use up to 4 items obtained either from the TeleChallenge booth or at a dollar store costing no more than $5 plus tax, plus duct tape, along with a single one-gallon bucket or container full of conventional ice and water (solely H2O!) to build your Contraption.
2. Only hand tools may be used.
3. No hackers may be harmed in the execution of the Challenge. Contraption may cool to no colder than -3 degrees Celcius.
4. You may wear no less than a bathing suit (due to dress code requirements at pools).
5. Contraptions will be judged only for full participants of the Challenge, meaning you have made three nominations and at least two nominees have also participated.
6. Judging criteria: Efficacy, creativity, flair, hax.
