Stories of Grit (SoG) is a digital storytelling platform by The Grit City that captures the unseen work behind meaningful education. It documents learning in progress—persistence, experimentation, and effort—across classrooms, labs, studios, and late-night learning spaces, long before results or recognition appear.
For Educators
Mentoring, Researching, Refining
Are you mentoring, researching, or refining your practice long before impact is acknowledged?
Share the work that shapes learning. Your journey inspires the next generation of educators and learners alike.
"The most impactful lessons often come from our most challenging teaching moments."
"Growth happens in the space between 'I can't' and 'I did'."
For Students
Building, Experimenting, Learning
Are you building, experimenting, and learning through persistence—not just outcomes?
Share your journey of growth. Your story could be the spark that ignites someone else's journey.
For Entrepreneurs
Solving Problems Through Iteration
Are you solving real problems through iteration, risk-taking, and long-term conviction—often before success is visible?
Share the story behind what you're building, and the grit that sustains it.
