Our frequent Nerd Nite presenter, attendee, and trivia master Andrew Rader (the aerospace engineer that presented about Dogs at Nerd Nite episode 2) will be doing a special presentation!
and YES THAT’S RIGHT, THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL WILL BE THERE!This will be one of the most interesting Nerd Nite’s yet as Andrew will be doing a presentation about Mars.
BE PART OF THE AUDIENCE AND POSSIBLY BE ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL!!! We will be the first Nerd Nite in the world that instead of saying we are “like the Discovery Channel, only with beer”, we can say “we ARE ON the Discovery Channel with beer”!!!! The 41 downtown Kitchener has been kind enough to let us use their space for this event!!! We will have our own bartender and there will be a full menu. Here are the details of Andrew’s presentation…you don’t want to miss it! Earth’s housing bubble is about to burst. Andrew Rader will talk about future prospects for Space settlement, with emphasis on why Mars makes a good candidate for human exploration and colonization. Andrew will also discuss Mars-related research on Earth and how we can prepare to visit the red planet. BE THERE AND BE AWESOME!!!

Based on a true story, for the first time ever on screen, watch the chaotic dance of cold atoms!
This movie is rated R for explicit quantum content. No atoms were harmed during the making of this film….wait, actually they were.
A Shohini Ghose production: physicist and self-proclaimed nerd (but after this presentation, she will be an internationally proclaimed nerd overlord!)
Alex Bencz is a Mechatronics Engineer but when Alex isn’t making robots do his bidding, he is an avid nature enthusiast and will be enlightening us about the fascinating life of SNAILS. Yes, if you thought you knew everything about these creatures, think again. Not only are they adorable, they are much more interesting than you think. Warning: this presentation may contain snail pornographic images. Any snails in attendance must be +18 years old and show id.
There is much more to Batman than most people know…and Jenn Emes will be here to educate us about the Dark Knight with some cool and interesting facts only the hard care Batfans know.
Jenn has a Degree in Philosophy and Classical Civilizations – specializing in argumentation and critical thinking and is a sci-fi and gamer geek but most importantly, she celebrates her lifelong obsession with Batman every day, as everyone should.
