Mohawk-con is issuing a challenge for hackerspaces to make donation boxes to put up in their booth[1]. We are officially participating with our theme being "Skull".

Brainstorming

• Make it loud
  • The amount of dollars you put in shuts it up for that many minutes
  • Make it play Friday on repeat until someone donates
  • Sirens similar to this
• Make it a game
  • The money you donate is a multiplier for your score
  • Tweets high score and a pic of the winner
  • Game should be quick to play
  • Physical game
    • Box launches little propeller toy. Time taken to retrieve and replace is inversely proportional to score
• Have it snap your picture and post to online gallery upon donation (unoffical defcon mohawk gallery)
• Skull jukebox, enter money, pick song.
