The Great Half Bake Off is your chance to showcase your perhaps-strange, somewhat unrealistic, or incompletely imagined idea for a project: throw something delicious at the wall, and see what sticks. Creativity is encouraged. Tocques are not required.[1]
Why is the Great Half Bake Off?[edit]
- We all have ideas lurking in an incomplete state -- they might be delightful, or they might not survive the harsh light of day, but we won't know until we drag them out of our someday-I-wish recipe boxes and dump them out onto a plate.
- There was an open slot in the 2x2 matrix formed by Research (formed through unformed) and Peer Review (formal through informal), and this fills that slot.
- Prosociality is positively correlated with survival.
Ok, I have at least one bad incomplete, half-baked idea. How do I do this?[edit]
- Gather your ingredients: one slide
- Present your creation: utter words that can fill at most two minutes
- Listen to the judges: Rapid-fire hot takes only! Max 5 minutes of feedback will be delivered: fresh or it's free.
2023 Edition for the Sept 2023 Meetup[edit]
- You can use this as an opportunity to also introduce yourself briefly, but don't put the half-bake too much on the backseat!
- You still get just 2 minutes to present your half-bake; the feedback will be 2-3 minutes for time.
Past winners[edit]
- 2022 - sohyeon, for an extremely low-effort slide on `bad governance'
- 2021 - did we keep track before? unclear
Notes[edit]
- ↑ It is also a recurring CDSC event that has been held at several CDSC meetups. Perhaps you are reading this because we're having another one? Whose half-baked idea was that...
