Side Project Showcase
As part of Toronto Tech Week, Somos Latinx in Tech is throwing a night dedicated to side projects and side hustles. Think websites, apps, tools, prototypes, and experiments people are building after hours and on weekends.
Come to demo what you're building, or simply take it all in: try projects live, ask creators what worked (and what didn't), and see how ideas become real through vision to prototype to iteration.
This is a community-first night focused on learning by doing and learning by watching, built around real builders sharing real work in progress.
Expect a short fireside chat with Hector Crespo (former Head of CX & Design at RBCX), live demos with Q&A, hands-on demo tables, and plenty of time to meet other makers and future collaborators.
