Creators' Story:
Paula & Natalie both volunteered at Girls in Tech SF, where they helped host an annual Hackathon that supported many first-time hackers. Seeing the transformation and confidence the experience gave the participants was a driving factor in why they put sweat and tears into driving such a large event.
At the same time, Paula and Natalie were both getting burned out and bored of tech. All the tech events were starting to be the same (panels, conferences and hackathons). They started looking to other sources for inspiration.
Paula joined improv theatre ending up in a performing ensemble and pursued more actively her long passion for fiction writing. Natalie sought out coaching accreditation and joined a family therapist book club. They decided to use their skills from event hosting, tech backgrounds, and newly learned skills to create the fun dynamic transformational learning environment they wished existed.
