Side Project Night
Pull up to the Side Project Night to work on passion projects (literally anything you want) surrounded by other creatives, builders and fellow humans.
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, write, or build with your own two hands. Just make sure it's something you're genuinely excited about outside of university, campus clubs, and work.
7:00 PM: Get to know each other and share your goals and inspirations.
7:15 PM: Dive into a 50-minute deep work session to focus on your project.
8:05 PM: Recharge with a 10-minute break.
8:15 PM: Continue with a second 50-minute deep work session.
9:15 PM: Wrap up with demos to showcase your work and reflect on what you’ve learned.
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
It's a great way to beat the academic blues
Ground Rules
Act like a host, include people in conversations, talk to people even if they're strangers, offer to help out and clean up
Most importantly, don't come to just network! If you're here to network we will be very sad. 😔
Try not to ask people about their major, their classes, their year, or what school they go to—talk about your interests outside of university!
See you there! :)
Grateful to the folks behind Socratica at UWaterloo for inspiring us to properly launch this now :)
