A message from Nerd Nite Tokyo:

Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique.

Suggested Activity
Shibuya Official Street Go-Kart in Shibuya Annex - 55% off!
Enjoy a 1 Hour karting experience on the city roads of Tokyo, with up to 55% discount this month! Feel like a celebrity as this course will take you through the famous Shibuya Crossing more than once.

This month, we’re going to join the Federation and smuggle asteroids!

Yes, you read that right! Our first speaker, astrophysicist Elizabeth Tasker, will talk about her adventures transporting asteroid grains returned to Earth by the Hayabasa2 space mission. Then, open-source technologist Christian Horn explains just what federated social network Mastodon is and why you should join.

Drinks (both alcoholic and non) will be available. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.

Speakers:

  • Elizabeth Tasker — Asteroid smuggling for beginners
  • Christian Horn — Mastodon: join the Federation!
