At The Thinking Spot, we aim to be a platform where people learn from each other. We believe that the Minneapolis community is full of people doing innovative work in the scientific and technological fields. We want to hear their stories - what do they work on, how do they do it,  why they do what they do and, most importantly, how it impacts our day-to-day life.  

If you work in science, technology, engineering or math field or consider yourself a maker, we want to hear from you. If you know of someone who does and who you would like to hear present, we want to hear that too. Drop us a line below so we can send you details on how you can get involved!
