Learning Out Loud Katie
-
- Education
Join me, Katie, every Wednesday as I 'learn out loud' about some of my favorite topics like: science, history, personal growth, and mental health. A little bit serious, a little bit silly, and a little bit of learning & growing. My goal for Learning Out Loud is for us to gain knowledge, confidence, and connection. Think of it as your nerdy best friend excitedly sharing the latest nerdy thing she learned about over happy hour drinks. Come chase curiosity with me!
