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 in a virtual online world, 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.
