Hello, everyone! I run the social media for Inductive and one of the funny ideas we had for a potential social media post was an Ignition Bingo Card. We have a few ideas of what we could put on the card like “Contributed to the Ignition Exchange” or “Achieved 100% in Inductive University”, but I was hoping to get some really unique or funny ideas from all of you. All suggestions welcome!
