SUMMARY:Get Lit: Weird Science
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat if you could shrink yourself down to the size of a bug? Build your own droid? Travel through space with nothing but science to keep you alive? Or use quantum physics to outsmart an eavesdropper? We’re exploring the science behind it all and having a little fun along the way. Join us for Get Lit: Weird Science, a night of trivia, hands-on activities, and experiments inspired by the strangest, silliest, and most spectacular science found in books, movies, and our wildest imaginations.\n\n\n\nTest your science and sci-fi smarts, create your own binary-code bracelet, get quantum-entangled, explore the future of robotics, and discover the chemistry behind what’s in your glass. Explore the chemistry behind what’s in your glass with beer, wine, and our specialty cocktail, THE GOO. Prefer to skip the booze? Non-alcoholic options will be available, too.\nIn partnership with Argonne National Laboratory, discover how real scientists are turning seemingly impossible ideas into reality.\nWhether you’re a science nerd, a sci-fi superfan, or just curious about the wonderfully weird world around us, Get Lit is the place to get curious, get creative, and get a little weird.\n\n\nThis is 21+ event. Attendees must show a valid photo ID at the door to enter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n										\n												\n							\n						\n						\n											\n\n					\nPrev\n1 of 1\nNext\n\n\n	\n					\n								\n					\n						\n															\n													\n					\n											Get Lit! - After Hours Events at the American Writers Museum\n																					\n									\n							\n				\n				\n\nPrev\n1 of 1\nNext\n\n				\n			\n			\n\n\n\nGet Lit is your way to enjoy evenings in the Loop. Meet friends and fellow book nerds for an early evening treat. Each month, the AWM serves drinks, games, special experiences, and fun activities to get you lit! Funds raised at this event go towards the AWM’s Write In Youth Education Program, which serves middle and high school students from under-resourced schools. See our other upcoming GET LIT events here.\n\n\n\n\n
