Announcing ThinkerCon, remember several years ago five of us educational content creators got together and we did this live events

It was really fun, but people came from like 40 states and 12 different nations for it
-
So clearly there's a lot of demand for this sort of thing. We're gonna do something similar only much bigger

There were five content creators at that event
