Dinner tonight? Mom’s famous feetloaf. We said what we said. – Dave L.
Category: Hunts
All GISH events, organized by year.
Item 115 – Winchester Heroic Poem
Hand-write a poem about Sam, Dean, Castiel and Jack written in heroic couplet, triadic-line poetry, or quatrains, depending on the number of characters you use.
Item 114 – Kris Kringle Protest
Let’s face it, besides being totally real, Santa Claus is our way of preparing kids for a lifetime of annual performance reviews and merit-based bonuses. But the kids have had enough and now they’ve unionized. Show at least one child under 10 on strike at Kris Kringle’s house, protesting the meritocracy and demanding parity in presents for all children.
Item 111 – Tree Stump Speech
Give a stump speech about the dangers of deforestation while standing on (or sitting next to) a tree stump, just the way the Lorax would have done.
Item 110 – Ingenuity Paper Model
NASA launched the “Perseverance” rover to Mars this week. The rover is carrying “Ingenuity” tucked underneath the rover – the first-ever planetary helicopter. Create your own model version of Ingenuity using only paper and glue, no other materials. – Dave L.
Item 109 – Friendship FaceMasks
(SIDE-BY-SIDE) You’ve heard of friendship bracelets, yes? We’re making Friendship FaceMasks! Using our guide, make a mask for you and your friend. Pose side-by-side and 6 feet apart.
Item 108 – ArmyForGood Texts
(GRID) We need to get out the vote in the US, and we need your help to do it! Get at least 50 people to text “ArmyForGood” and “YourTeamName” (whatever that is) to Misha at (323) 405-9939. You may get the help of your team members or any other US or Canadian residents you know. Submit a grid showing all the messages. NOTE:
- Each person may text “ArmyForGood” ONLY ONCE, and for ONE team only.
- This number will only work for phone numbers in the US and Canada.
- If you are international, your team may use a proxy, but again, each person may only text “ArmyForGood” once, and only for one team only (their own or another). Reach out to your extended networks and outside the GISH Community to help you achieve this Item.
- Misha will later text everyone back about Get Out The Vote initiatives. Not during the Hunt!
Item 107 – Michelin Shish Kebab
One of the best things about summer carnivals is food on a stick, but it’s usually junk food or shish kebabs, and that’s so limiting! Make an upscale 7-course dinner-on-a-stick worthy of a Michelin 4-star restaurant. Every course, from the amuse-bouche to the salad to dessert, should be represented, and it must be beautifully presented. All courses must be served on a single stick.
Item 106 – Mars Image Classification
The Curiosity rover has been driving on Mars since 2012, collecting close-up images of the Mars surface. The rover team uses these images to train the rover how to recognize different types of terrain by itself, to improve the rover’s autonomous driving ability. Help classify some of the Mars images that the rover team will actually use to train the rover. Sign up at AI4Mars, complete the tutorial, and complete at least one image classification exercise. Send us a screenshot of your completed image classification. – Dave L.
Item 105 – Police Brutality Protest Song
(UP TO 60 SECONDS) Write and sing an original protest song about police brutality, and the racist foundations of the United States’ criminal justice system.
