THE STORY BEHIND THE HUMAN ATLAS

A journey into emotional cartography, born at Hack Club's Shipwrecked 2025

SHIPWRECKED 2025 SUBMISSION

THE GENESIS

The Human Atlas was conceived during Hack Club's Shipwrecked 2025, a unique program that challenges young developers to push the boundaries of their creativity and technical skills.

In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence and digital interactions, we recognized the need for a platform that celebrates and explores the depth of human emotions – the very essence of what makes us human.
