About EureKamp EureKamp is a one-day unique inspiration camp, which is all about ideas: inspiring, discovering, generating, and sharing ideas in various areas. The participants of the camp are Israeli creative thinkers with versatile backgrounds. The camp's nature is non-formal, with positive, inspiring and fun atmosphere to allow the participants to meet each other, collaborate and create freely. The contents of the camp are created by the participants themselves and include various activities designed to stimulate participants to share ideas, brainstorm and try to help each other to come up with a Eureka. The participation is free, by invitation only and includes full board.
Paticipants Some 100 creative thinkers from Israel will participate in the camp - entrepreneurs, technology leaders and experts, artists, researchers, students, etc. with versatile backgrounds – from Internet to physics. The most common ground of all the participants is creativity, positivity, technology-oriented background and the desire to meet new people, learn, collaborate, create and enjoy the process. Camp's agenda The camp is inspired by similar-spirit events in Israel and abroad, first to mention Kinnernet and Geekcon. Several activities will take place in parallel, while participants freely move among the rooms and topics based solely upon their interest (and common courtesy and politeness). The main activity of the camp will be "cortexstorming" sessions. Cortexstorming is a kind of light and fun brainstorming (an outer-layer-brain-storming), 5-7 minutes long, where one participant presents an original idea to the public and the public just throws up into the air anything that pops up related to the idea. In parallel, additional user-generated activities in the spirit of the camp will take place, including discussions, workshops, demos, etc. In addition, game room and creative room will run non-stop.
Participation = contribution In order to take part in the camp, each participant will have to contribute to the activities of the camp. There are several ways of contribution – presenting an idea for cortexstorming, hosting a discussion/workshop/demo, contributing a feature item for game room or creative room, etc.
