Nerd Nite Gamma

NERD NITE CALGARY OCTOBER 9

Nerd Nite Charlie/Gamma/#3 (we’ve really got to stick with a naming scheme…) is happening October 9th at the National Music Centre.

When:  Thursday, October 9 2014 – Doors open at 6:30 pm, event starts at 7:00 pm.
Where:  National Music Centre – 134 11 Avenue SE
Tickets: $10 in advance only via Eventbrite
Note: No tickets sold at the door; this is an 18+ event.

Our first speakers are artist Jeff de Boer and technologist Shannon Hoover. Jeff and Shannon explore the idea of Art Directed Technology. They’ll share insights from developing the Tech Tie, a wearable technology developed with partners Intel and Seeedstudios, that incorporates art, fashion, social interaction, and just plain fun.

We’re also very excited that Geoff and Julie from Calgary’s own Buy Nothing Year will be presenting at our October Nerd Nite. You’ve likely heard about Buy Nothing Year in the news, including this recent Forbes article.

We’re extremely excited to announce that Dr. Christian Jacob from the University of Calgary will tell the story of The Giant Walkthrough Brain, and show the 3-dimensional, interactive computer model. We’ll see first-hand demonstrations of the software, as well as snippets from the three performances at the Banff Centre and during Beakerhead. Learn why a computer nerd can get excited about the human brain!
