What is Socratica Toronto?

  • ​​A group of driven folks keeping each other accountable, working in sessions/pomodoros of 50 minutes of work and 10 mins of break time (it works, trust)

  • ​The project you work on can be anything! Ex. coding an app, knitting, making beats, painting custom shoes - as long as its something you want to do and not your main "project" (that means no school work if you're a student, no job work if you're employed)

  • Around 5-20 people willing to work on anything other than their main "project" (that means no school work if you're a student, no job work if you're employed)

  • Watch this short video

​​Why:

  • ​​We've been procrastinating too much on my side projects even though we have so much fun doing them - feels like we're not alone in this and want to keep others accountable for working on what they're passionate about

  • ​The vibes will probably be immaculate and I hope the people that come will be friends with each other

​Snacks:

  • ​yes + bring some if u want to (absolutely not necessary!)

​​Rules/guidelines on how to act:

  • ​DOOOONT work on your main thing (school or your job) - if you don't know what to work on, I'm sure we can help you find something

  • ​Act like a host, include people in conversations, talk to people even if they're strangers, offer to help out and clean up, don't network if you're here to network I will be so sad, come to build cool shit

  • ​Bring snacks if ur feeling kind!
