Socratica Toronto Symposium - Summer 2023
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Scott & Kai may not be able to attend due to last-minute travel difficulties. Hardeep (& friends) will be helping out to host the session, bringing snacks and joy for all.
At Socratica, we believe that everyone should act as a host. Please make the most of this end-of-summer finale!

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)
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!
