🚀📚 I recently had the pleasure of reading "Dream! Hack! Build!" by Ann Molin, a book that beautifully captures the transformative power of citizen-driven innovation through hackathons. The origin of the word "hack" is often misunderstood and underrated, but Ann turned that idea on its head, demonstrating how it can lead to immense impact and creativity. This aligns perfectly with my idea of HACK as an acronym: Humanity Applying their Collective Knowledge. This idea underscores the essence of hackathons—bringing together diverse minds to solve problems collaboratively and create lasting change 🧠🤝 . Ann is the Jensen Huang of HPUs 🖥 .I first met Ann Molin at a sustainability hackathon during AWS re-invent Las Vegas in 2018 where my team was the winner 🏆 . Her passion for innovation and sustainability was evident then, and it has been inspiring to see how our relationship has continued to grow through various hackathons over the years. 💬💻 Ann's ability to craft effective challenges and drive impactful solutions is unparalleled, and this book encapsulates her expertise perfectly. 🌟📈"Dream! Hack! Build!" emphasizes the importance of execution over mere ideation, the role of acceleration programs in sustaining innovation, and the value of teamwork and networking. It provides a roadmap for turning creative ideas into tangible outcomes that can make a significant difference in the world. 🌐🔧Through my own non-profit Social Data Science working with MinneAnalytics we've applied these principles to create significant impact in the local Minnesota area. By leveraging data science for social good, we've been able to address community challenges and drive positive change, reflecting the very essence of what Ann advocates in her book. 🌍📊For anyone passionate about innovation, sustainability, and making a real impact, this book is a must-read. Ann Molin's work continues to inspire and guide many, including myself, in our journey to build a better, more sustainable future. 📖✨#Innovation #Hackathons #Sustainability #BookReview #DreamHackBuild #AnnMolin #HACK #CollectiveKnowledge #Teamwork #Execution #RealWorldImpact #Networking #SocialDataScience 🌟📘👩‍💻🌱

One thing that really stuck with me is the idea of having a Massive Transformative Purpose (MTP). It’s like having a huge, game-changing goal that drives everything we do. For example, Google’s MTP is “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.”The book also dives into how hackathons can be for everyone, highlighting our incredible ability as human beings to cooperate and connect. It’s fascinating to learn about anthropologists’ and historians’ argument that “it is this very capability for cooperation and social connection that has propelled Homo Sapiens to the pinnacle of the Earth’s biodiversity.”Other nuggets of wisdom include the importance of “setting up a small but efficient and autonomous core team”, the business value of two-dimensional diversity, the example of EUvsVirus Matchathon, the success story of BrightAct and Zelij Invent, and so on - this book is a masterpiece full of actionable insights!

I honestly wished I had this book before my first hackathon"Dream! Hack! Build!: Unleash Citizen-Driven Innovation with the Power of Hackathons" by Ann is a must-read for anyone eager to drive real change in their organization. This book brilliantly shows how hackathons can solve problems quickly and collaboratively.Ann's expertise shines through as she introduces the Dream! Hack! Build! method, guiding you from identifying challenges to implementing actionable solutions. The book is divided into three practical sections:Understanding Hackathons: Learn why hackathons are essential for modern business innovation.Organizing Hackathons: Get step-by-step guidance on setting up and running impactful hackathons.Implementing Solutions: Discover how to turn hackathon ideas into real-world results.A standout chapter on branding highlights the importance of a strong brand identity. Ann's advice on creating a cohesive and professional online presence is invaluable. The book also emphasizes "Embracing Incompleteness," encouraging startups to be transparent and seek feedback to accelerate growth.While the book is packed with practical advice, adding more real-life examples could further inspire readers. Despite this, "Dream! Hack! Build!" is an essential guide to leveraging hackathons for innovation. Highly recommended!

Dream! Hack! Build! by Ann Molin (one of the key speakers during our DIPS 1000+ Innowave event, in Seoul. Founder and CEO of Hack for Earth foundation, former psychologist), and the help of 4 co-authors (Love Dager, Mustafa Sherif, Carolina Emanuelson, and Dr. Kristofer Vernmark. ) is a comprehensive guide on harnessing the power of hackathons to drive citizen-driven innovation.This book gives a thorough understanding of Hackathons and how to organize one that, whether you are familiar with hackathons or even from the standpoint of someone that might not know what it is exactly and/or wants to be introduced to this notion, is an easy read. The book is precisely organized and goes from the definition, idea, and start of a hackathon project to the realization of one that would be tailor-made, durable and a success for one’s organization’s specific goals, needs, and capacities. This makes it easy to follow the flow of information and the points made by the book. What makes Ms.Ann Molin take on hackathons different from others and interesting is her past experience as a professional psychologist and therefore her very humane approach to something that is traditionally only looked at through a very practical but “mechanical” lens. Thanks to her approach she conveys various concepts for the success of hackathons and introduces the notion of citizen-driven innovation that, for her, needs to be a crucial part of a hackathon and will if you follow her advice. Moreover, not only do the authors explain all those notions and their point of views, but they also prove those points and illustrate those notions with real-life examples throughout the book. Some of the examples are even first-hand experiences from the authors, as Ann Molin has done successful hackathons herself. This helps immensely in understanding and to project oneself in the organization of a hackathon themselves with all of the tips scattered in the chapters. “Dream! Hack! Build! Unleash citizen-driven innovation with the power of hackathons” by Ann Molin truly is an insightful read that is the perfect instruction book and guide for anyone interested in Hackathons and for anyone who wants to organize one themself.
