/ About this event
There are things machines are very good at making.
GENIUS IS NOT GENERATED is an afternoon in Expo Park for people interested in everything else.
Look at things. Make things. Follow an idea somewhere it probably shouldn't go.
The rest will be revealed in person.
Five stops. Three questions. A door with your number on it. We're not going to tell you what's behind it. Come find out.
The experience opens Monday, October 12 at 1:00 PM. From then on it runs entirely on your own schedule. Come any day during Tech Week, at any hour the stops are open, and move through the park at your own pace.
A large group of us is meeting at the cafe for lunch before the day kicks off. Let us know if you're interested and we'll send the details.
We've got dedicated swag for everyone who completes the experience and receives their seal.
We'll be onsite with swag, food, and other surprises throughout the entire week.

THE ROOMS
Every stop has its own room, built before you arrive. Answer your three questions and yours are filled from your own journey. Skip them and you'll still get the rooms, just the Expo Park edition.
Answered your questions? Your personal museum arrives in a separate email. If you're having trouble locating it, reach out and we'll help find it.
Haven't answered yet? There's still time. Complete the questions and a museum of your own arrives after the event.
