We are so excited to collaborate with the MIT Museum on their June After Dark event: Let's Talk.
From our friends at the MIT Museum:
Join us this June as we travel back to the debate that helped shape Kendall Square into the most innovative square mile on the planet, 50 years ago this month. Then step away from the chatter and take part in hands-on activities inspired by the joy and occasional chaos of conversation.
Featured activities:
- Follow a guided timeline through the Museum tracing the twists and turns of meaningful, intimate conversations.
- Hear historian of science Luis Campos unpack the controversy around a 1976 recombinant DNA lab, seen by some as groundbreaking, and by others as “Frankenstein bacteria.”
- Make your own ‘conversation kit’ filled with unexpected tools, from pause buttons to prompts, designed to improve everyday dialogue.
- Step into the ‘Agora’ demo to explore big issues like minimum wage, then draft and refine your own policy with input from multiple perspectives.
- Mix your own audio medley using real voices from debates on housing, gentrification, and more—experiment with shaping complex stories.
- Settle into an immersive soundscape featuring highlights from realtalk@Boston conversations, creating the soundtrack for the evening.
Stay fueled with bites and brews from Babci’s Pierogis and Arlington Brewing Company, available for purchase.
