How to Build the Future
Details
Join us for our 5th Build the Future meetup.
We welcome builders, hackers, scholars, researchers, and lifelong learners to join us for a meetup in Austin to share ideas on how to build a fantastic future. We believe that many of the hurdles blocking technological progress are failures of will and imagination a la J. Storrs Hall and that by shifting our culture we can unlock innovation. Join us for monthly discussions on how to make that happen.
In our fifth meetup, we will have two mini-presentations followed by ample group discussion.
