"NightSchool" at Chabot Space & Science Center


 

Ace Monster Toys members will be showing off their projects on Friday night. There will also be a lot of other cool stuff going on, I recommend everyone to visit! It's sort of a mini maker faire, but for 18+ only.

NightSchool at Chabot Space & Science Center is a new themed event series for adults.  Friday, March 16, 7-11pm, earn some of life’s Extra Credit and experience the future at Chabot.   Fly futuristic quadcopters; play a robotic glockenspiel; be a space tourist;  join conversations about 10000 year clocks, starships and space elevators; build Lego, alien and virtual worlds; foretell your future; immerse yourself in a star show and ask yourself and others the question, “what if?” NightSchool will  examine the future from many angles including scientific, spiritual, technological and philosophical.  What better place to toy with big kid questions than at a super cool science center with colossal telescopes, fascinating exhibits, great food, drinks and plenty of friendly smart people to postulate with!  For details and event schedule visit www.chabotspace.org/nightschool
