In collaboration with Good Space Coworking, we are awarding a student in STEM one membership grant!
This grant provides one student with a membership to Good Space for one academic term, beginning January 2020. Good Space Coworking provides a quiet, focused study and work space for students and professionals alike. We are following all local COVID recommendations including frequent sanitization, socially distant workspaces, and enforcing mask usage for all of our members.
A winner will be selected on December 30th!
For more info on Good Space Coworking, check out our interview with owner, Mika Silverman below!
Q: Being a woman in STEM - studying physics at UCSB, working in IT and project management, and as a consultant and business owner - why do you find it so important to support students entering STEM fields?
A: STEM isn’t easy but it is exceptionally valuable to individuals, society, and the planet. Personally, it took me years to feel comfortable contributing when I was the only woman in the room. I felt I was under added scrutiny. The tipping point for me was when I knew I was the best in the room. I want to help others get there so they can make valuable contributions.
Mika Silverman, Owner/Founder of Good Space
Q: What makes Good Space stand out when it comes to study spaces for students?
A: Aside from being a comfortable place to study, with plenty of desks, great wifi, comfy chairs, outlets everywhere, quiet, with plenty of free, easy parking, the Good Space community is what makes it a great place to study. Good Space has many people studying not just from various universities but for exams such as MCATs, LSATs, USMLE.
Q: favorite Hobbies during COVID?
A: I have always been a hiker, but lately, without anything social to do on a Saturday, I have switched from doing a quick four or five miles to doing longer ten or twelve hikes. I usually take the podcast “More or Less” with me. It is a fantastic deep dive into popularized news statistics, going past the number into how the data was gathered, the accuracy, and analysis.
Q: What have been some of your clients’ successes using Good Space during COVID?
A: Good Space has been facilitating stress-free productivity for many members during COVID. That has translated into different types of success. I hear about great test scores, funding for new ventures, landing new jobs, contracts for hundreds of thousands of dollars closing, and great term GPAs. I think everyone is succeeding in their own pursuits.
Q: Anything else you want to talk about?
A: Good Space was founded to bring the business, science, technology, and academic communities together because my personal passion is bringing people together to support them. I encourage people to contact me. Entrepreneur looking for some pitch deck feedback, contact me. Student in desperate need for a quiet place to study, but can’t afford membership, contact me. Work-from-home parent professional that needs space a few days a week, contact me. Looking for contacts to help find a job, contact me. I can’t always help, but if I can I want to.
