Welcome to the Kitchen's Substack 🥕
A short update on what's happening at The Kitchen!
So, “The Kitchen” — what is it again?
This summer we're trying something different, and experimenting with what happens when people have a place to actually figure out their ideas and projects; a place for very in-between, very in progress work. That's essentially why we called it The Kitchen, because 👏 you're 👏 cooking👏.
Your project doesn't need to be any level of finished to bring it here.
Very similar to what some of us ran at Socratica. Co-working on your passion projects, idea you want to create, startup you're building, skill you want to develop, curiosity you want to dive into etc etc. Just during the week, on a somewhat full-time/drop in basis.
Unsure? That's okay. Here's some inspiration from what people have been working on so far on our side:
medical diagnostics tools
visual art
jewelry making
embedded systems, ml development
music production
web design
and a LOT more.
To clarify– this is not a program, just a group of people working on their ideas in the same space. It's pretty simple, like a cafe but you don't need to buy something to stay. And btw we DO happen to have coffee here 😏.
How it's going
Okay! So on 11th June we'll have been running the Kitchen for exactly 2 weeks. And as far as updates go:
20+ new friends have been coming in to work on their projects and hang out!
Hosted our first late night work session (17 friends there, very cozy, we watched the sunrise together after!)
Some friends creating a medical diagnostic tool won an award (big W)
Shifted hours to 10-4pm, from the old 9-4pm (bc people prefer to drop in starting 10am it seems)
and many more schemes in the works, but you’ll have to stay tuned to find out what's cooking 🍅.
Until next time
