MIT Red Balloon Challenge

[Briankealing]

The Challenge This Saturday, December 5th, DARPA will be deploying 10 large, red weather balloons at 10 fixed locations in the United States.

DARPA is giving $40,000 to the first team of people to find all 10 balloons. Join the MIT team, invite your friends and you can win money, help science, and help charity!

The MIT Red Balloon Challenge Team is interested in studying information flow in social networks, so if we win, we're giving all the money away to the people who help us find the balloons!

Now wouldn't that be fun? Sorry, it's kinda late and I have to go get some sleep, I just found about it.


You can read about it and sign up here.
