Science and art unite! This week, NightLife partners with the California College of the Arts to explore the many ways design impacts lives, culture, and science– and Museum of Craft and Design is joining the party!!

Swing by the MCD booth to design and create wearable 8-bit lapel pins from Perler beads.

Explore innovative ideas in fields from industrial and interaction design to illustration and architecture when African Hall transforms into a gallery full of projects, games, and installations by CCA students. There, you can choose your own sci-fi adventure, become a temporary cyborg, make a penguin block print, and participate in conceptual cartography.

Compete to be the top chef of the year 2050 in the Future Food Lab, or challenge your friends to an interactive puzzle game inspired by Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, and other figures in computer science history.

At the Project Lab, learn about just a few of the ways that design and technology are used in the science lab with guests from UCSF, Stanford, and Abate Lab. They’ll show off their work with synthetic receptors, 3D-printed viruses, interspecies communication, and more.
