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:

  1. Each person may text “ArmyForGood” ONLY ONCE, and for ONE team only.
  2. This number will only work for phone numbers in the US and Canada.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 103 – Essential Worker #WearAMask

COVID has affected just about everyone in one way or another, and we need to remind the world how serious this pandemic is. Find someone whose life has been materially impacted by the pandemic – an overworked “essential” worker, someone who has been laid off, etc. Ask them to take a self-portrait holding a sign explaining their story briefly or how COVID has impacted their life. Post it on social media (with their consent) tagged #GISH and #WearAMask.
