teen builders - coffee/matcha meetup
Toronto
photos & who camewhat we do
a room full of teenagers who actually build things
it's for the people who are already tinkering — shipping side projects, interning somewhere real, entering things, breaking things — and want to be around others doing the same.
come to an event, meet people, keep building. that's the whole thing.
- coffee meetups
- small, low-key, and the easiest way in. show up, meet six people, leave with someone to text.
- demo nights
- you get a few minutes and a room that's paying attention. the deadline is the point.
- co-working sessions
- a whole afternoon, everyone heads-down on their own thing, together.
