atrai rendezvous 07.
An open collective of makers, artists, engineers, researchers, designers, writers, poets, and everything in-between. Come to atrai to work on passion projects (literally anything you want).
Who
Anyone who has a passion project to work on! You're welcome even if you don't consider yourself a "creator", are awkward (we are too!), or aren't sure what you'll be working on yet.
What
Your passion project can be anything — something you want to code, design, read, write, or build with your own two hands. Just make sure it's something you're genuinely excited about outside of university societies, degree, and office work.
Shallow Why
The vibes are sure to be immaculate, so hopefully you'll make friends with other fun and interesting people. It's a fun, productive environment to stop procrastinating over your passion project!
Deeper Why
Great creative work is historically done together, across backgrounds and disciplines, in small, high trust groups. This is the foundation of boundary pushing work - in engineering, science, art, and more.
On top of that... there are increasingly few, low stakes ways for people to make interest, values aligned friends IRL. This is made worse by an endless stream of catered consumption.
It becomes pretty clear that we should do two things: gather and create. Atrai aims to help people do both.
How
Introductions, two hour-long work blocks, ending with casual open demos.
