Why #CurioHappyHours?

#CurioHappyHours originated from Curio founder, Ashley Lamb-Sinclair’s, success as the Uber Girlboss Pitch Competition grand prize winner. As part of her prize, she won $5000 in Uber credits (along with $90k!) and started to think about ways to use the credits to support the growing rebel teacher community in the Curio platform.

During Ashley’s fourteen years as a classroom educator, she found relief, inspiration, community, and creativity on Friday afternoons when she and her teacher crew would gather at a local restaurant for happy hour after a long week of teaching. Over time, she recognized that the informal community she built with other teachers often led to great ideas she would put to use on Monday mornings when she headed back to school. She started to notice how her teacher happy hours inevitably impacted her school and her students.

What are #CurioHappyHours?

#CurioHappyHours are an opportunity for rebel teachers around the country to gather with others who want to get creative about teaching or take action on a topic in education that matters to their community.

Curio provides a platform for collecting and sharing ideas from the #CurioHappyHour through our online collaboration tool…
