Event Overview
Discover the surprising ways scientific ideas can help you make smarter decisions, improve your daily life, and shape a better world.
We live in a world built on the back of scientific breakthroughs—but most of us never stop to think about how science became such a powerful force or how we might use its core principles in our everyday lives.
At this event, we’ll explore what life was like before the Scientific Revolution, how the movement took hold and transformed Europe, and what lasting impacts it had on the way we think, solve problems, and pursue truth.
Then we’ll bring these ideas into the present—using hands-on activities and group exercises to explore key concepts like the scientific method, falsifiability, and other frameworks that can change how you think, work, relate, and grow.
