1. Choose your Key Issue What issues are you passionate about? What themes will your participants enjoy? Finding a theme for the event will help you create design challenges and an agenda that makes sense.
   
   Here are some examples:
   
   Key Issue = Environment: At one hackjam, <title>Hacking Citizen Science on Earth Day</title>, participants collected data about their carbon footprint, compiled that info into websites, and linked their websites to an interactive game website that the New York Hall of Science had  set up for the event.
   
   Key Issue = Business: At an <title>Entrepreneurship 101 Jam</title>, teen designers used the Hackasaurus tools to set up websites for their budding inventions and businesses.
   
    
2. Set your learning objectives Determine what you want participants to learn and/or make at your event. Setting goals helps participants and organizers alike prepare for the event. Here are some sample learning objectives from a Hackasaurus Learning Lab that you may wish to borrow or put in your own words.
    
3. Write or record a description Take a first stab at a title and short description of your event. The description will change as you solidify your agenda/learning plan, but having a first draft will help you define your strategy.
