Socratica calls itself an open collective of makers, artists, engineers, designers, writers and poets. Every Sunday it holds a coworking session in Waterloo, usually at the Accelerator Centre. A session has introductions, two 50-minute work blocks and open demos, with snacks.
Adi Sharma and Aman Mathur started it at the University of Waterloo in January 2022 as Sunday morning work sessions. It became a nonprofit, and a team of hosts runs it each term. Velocity gave it a space on campus.
Anyone can come. You sign up for a session on its Luma calendar.
