Side Projects
The OpenPrinciples Bootcamp is a 3-week, 15 ~ 19 hours commitment, hands-on experiential learning, knowledge-sharing, and relationship-building opportunity. It is centered around helping you build the habit of identifying, following, and iterating on your life principles (your values, biases, habits, methods, mental models, or, “ways of thinking”).
Camp is a fellowship for mission-driven creators, designers, and technologists. Together, we'll make & think about making + practice across 12 weeks.
