Get Lit: Weird Science

What 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.

Test 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.

In partnership with Argonne National Laboratory , discover how real scientists are turning seemingly impossible ideas into reality. Whether 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.
