Creative Technology Day: Open Builder Coworking

Hosted by Olivia Wondu, w/Interactive Design Foundation

During Philly Tech Week, CultureWorks is opening its doors for a coworking day bringing together founders, developers, and creatives building at the intersection of technology and culture.

This event is for people who want to make real progress—whether on a startup, side project, or new idea—while working alongside others who are curious, focused, and driven.

CultureWorks is a space rooted in creativity, exploration, and shared learning. We see building technology as a creative act—one that shapes how we communicate, create, and imagine the future. This day is an opportunity to experience that environment firsthand while connecting with Philadelphia’s tech and creative communities.

Expect a low-pressure, highly productive atmosphere with time for focused work, informal connection, and optional sharing.

Use this time to:

• Build or iterate on a startup or MVP
• Experiment with AI tools or creative technology
• Contribute to open source or personal projects
• Learn something new alongside others

We’ll have light structure throughout the day, including optional introductions and a casual show-and-tell, with a focus on giving you space to build and connect.

Whether you’re deep into a project or just getting started, you’ll leave having made meaningful progress—and with a clearer sense of how to continue building within this community.
