The only pre-requisite is the curiosity to show up with an open mind. ​ To become creative, you need to create. This is the place to start; to be inspired and to regain your childlike pursuit for making things & sharing them. ​Who are we? ​ A friendly bunch of students, graduates, and dropouts who live near UBC and meet up every Sunday to work on cool stuff together :) ​ We are inspired by our friends at Socratica, an organization founded at the University of Waterloo that has expanded to cities across North America ⁂ ​ The first UBC sessions began in January 2023 as "Saturdays@UBC", which later served as inspiration for Atelier beginning in September 2023. Hosts regularly pass the torch to each other, some members come and go, but our energy lives on. ​ (Photo from our 8th UBC event on October 29, 2023) Location Please register to see the exact location of this event.
