How-To Nightlife

Looking to expand your horizons and learn something new? This week, teach yourself an impressive range of new tricks in a single evening.

From how to sustainably catch and prepare your own dinner with the help of Sea Forager, to how to make your own sausage with 4505 Meats, to how to pour the perfect drink with a mixology class from Mad Art Lab's Anne Sauer.

Get charged up while making LED lanterns with the help of Green Art Workshop, impress your friends with electrifying circuit stickers from Chibitronics, and unleash your inner 80's pop star with a synthesizer workshop from littleBits.

Searching for something a little less practical? Perfect the purr-fect cat-eye with a beauty demo from Fox & Doll.

Get off your butt with workshops that teach you how to take care of yourself-quite literally. Step up to a self-defense demo led by master instructor Jasmine Gong, then pick up a few new moves to try out while cutting a rug with several dance demos.

In the Project Lab, learn how to navigate the stars, use a telescope, and identify exoplanets with the Academy's planetarium team. Plus, learn what scientists are currently doing to detect and deflect asteroids and keep our planet safe.

Learning new skills can be tiring, so make your own superfood energy bars with Embrace Health & Nutrition.
