Playspace: 049

​What it is

​Playspace is a get-together and coworking session for the kind, nerdy, and creative.

​Come if you like to learn to draw from youtube videos, create websites for friends, play music, write blog posts, compose songs, arrange flowers, research distributed systems — and everything in between. Playspace is for you to explore what makes your world sparkle :)

​Philosophy

​Play allows us to create and share in ways that competitive environments disincentivize. We're a group of people that values exploring, learning, and building based on curiosity and intrinsic motivation.

​Part of the magic of it is that it's a very high-trust environment where people can fully be themselves and be comfortable exploring new facets of themselves. Although Playspace is open invite, we ask that you hold a respect for the space and the people within it. Everyone who attends Playspace is, in many ways, a host of the space as well.

​We kindly ask that you refrain from sharing any media captured during the event unless you have explicit permission from the individuals involved.
