SciFi Builders Fireside
🧪 We're delighted to invite you to an exciting NextGen community fireside at CoLabs Notting Hill, where you’ll get the chance to meet other young scientific minds, and hear from two impressive founders who are building futuristic technology!
Often, great technology starts as science fiction, and we believe that this is no trend. This event is our chance to investigate that thesis at the source, by hearing from founders who are actively building out the stuff of SciFi.
The founders will share behind-the-scenes insights, all the way from their respective journeys becoming a founder, to a broad glimpse of the technology they’re building, and even potentially some insight into how they see the future of their field...
Expect to experience:
free food and drinks;
great conversations with peers;
meaningful takeaways from the panel
There will also be the chance for a live AMA with the founders, so come prepared to pose any questions you might have.
Meet the Founders
Joshua, founder of Poly-Motion, who is building artificial muscles for the future of robotics.
Julie, founder of Sonorus, building AI-powered bioacoustic hardware to predict and prevent rheumatic heart disease.
