Behind the scenes update!

We've spent the past six months building a new way to learn, and now we finally have the pleasure of meeting many of you in person.

Two weeks ago, 30 Patreon members became the first to test our latest project (while enjoying some of NYC’s finest pizza), and thanks to them we now have lots of great insight to work on.

Our goal is to create the best possible tool for collaborative and interactive learning, which means testing every one of our hypotheses on how we can make learning better.

In short, we want to meet and listen to as many of you as possible.

We might do more of these. So if you're interested in coming to give your two cents, say hi to the team, and meet your local Veritasium community, then keep an eye on our newsletter to stay in the loop: veritasium.kit.com/a101ca16b1
