Solve for X

Through our research, we discovered the element most at risk as a result of the Gig Economy is collaboration which in turns stifles creativity. Without peoples abilities to work together on a project, get feedback from peers, and build camaraderie, boundaries cannot be pushed. As a result, Solve for X was born. Solve for X is a series of collaborative events and workshops that brings together creatives from different backgrounds and generations to solve unique “missions.” The idea is to encourage individuals to build relationships, collaborate on projects, and grow a sense of togetherness without it feeling like work. Our first pilot event was to solve for a mission of Alien Arrival.
