Storytelling is more than just a form of art, it’s the common thread that weaves people from all walks of life together. Every culture, every community, every society – they all have their own stories which are crafted, molded, and shared with diverse audiences in order to invoke a wide range of emotions, ignite the imagination, nurture a sense of belonging, inspire creativity, motivate actions, and more. Stories are the catalyst for collaboration, and that’s precisely what we do.
Though we think of ourselves as profound storytellers, we at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club also recognize that art takes on many forms of expression. From poetry to photography and everything in between, we have a prolific appreciation of art, whether it’s through the impact art has on communities, murals we’ve painted in The Clubhouse, or anything we’ve spotted around the neighborhood.

For comic book character fans like him, the Iron Man suit is the perfect embodiment of this topic. So, out of curiosity for how fellow engineers, researchers, and entrepreneurs at Tech Square would build their own personal Iron Man suit, Donald hosted a Cocktail Talk at the Centergy One lobby on a late Wednesday afternoon with libations in tow.
