Gather ‘round for an evening of informed and informal talks from a friendly neighborhood expert! We’ll have three speakers, each presenting on a different topic and sharing interesting facts that you never knew you never knew! Past Nerd Nite speakers have led deep dives into topics from the legacy of Louis Pasteur, to the origin of elements, to how a trumpet works, to a dissection of romance novel tropes. So bring a friend, grab a drink, and enjoy an evening among fellow nerds. Be there and be square!

This event is offered in partnership with the Ann Arbor Summer Fest.

A collection of musical instruments ranging from synthesizers, drum machines, guitars, keyboards and electronic bagpipes, for you to sample and enjoy!
