About us
We are people interested in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) topics and how these intersect with society, culture and startups. This group is co-managed by organizers from Space Cafe Tokyo and Nerd Nite Tokyo, which each have monthly events. Other organizers and ideas are welcome -- get in touch!

Good Heavens British Bar Tokyo, 2f 5-32-5 Daizawa, Setagaya, Tokyo 155-0032, Tokyo, JP"Pointing the world's most expensive telescope at light-bending galaxies"
When a distant celestial object appears as multiple images in the sky, what kind of phenomenon is taking place? Devon Williams (UCLA) will introduce the fascinating phenomenon of multiply-imaged galaxies and explain how these systems allow us to measure the expansion rate of the Universe, accompanied by beautiful images from the James Webb Space Telescope
Speaker info:
Devon Williams is currently a PhD student at UCLA. He got his bachelor's in Physics and master's in Statistics at Johns Hopkins University. He did a wide variety of research projects during university to help support his family back home, as he came from a low-income household near Chicago. He has worked on quantum computing, graph theory, telescope instrumentation, and more. The project he enjoyed most was studying the mass in distant galaxies, and so he is now studying extragalactic astrophysics!

Nerd Nite Tokyo #75: Making History
Study Abroad Pub - Shin Okubo, ＳｈｉｎＯｋｕｂｏコミュニケーションビル B1F, 2 Chome-11-23 Hyakunincho, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 169-0073, Tokyo, JP日本語の説明は下記にございます！
Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, we’re at a new location convenient to Shinjuku to talk about history and HCI (human-computer interfaces)! As always, we will have food and drinks available.
We’re starting our tenth anniversary year with speakers new and old! First, historian Ingrid Ivarsen will discuss how history is made — the things that historians do on a day-to-day basis to create knowledge of the past, and how that process is misunderstood. Then, researcher Bektur Ryskeldiev returns to Nerd Nite to discuss the future of how humans and computers interact!
Drinks (both alcoholic and non) as well as food will be available. We’re opening the doors to our new, bigger space at 7 PM, so come early, drink, meet, and be square-y!
You can also find our event information on Facebook and our website; check our homepage's sidebar for all of our social media and mailing lists.
Speakers:
- Ingrid Ivarsen — How to Make History
- Bektur Ryskeldiev (Twitter) — Goodbye UI? How the Future of Interfaces is Being Shaped in a Post-internet World
When: February 20 (Friday), doors open 19:00, start 20:00
Where: Study Abroad Pub, just one stop away from Shinjuku Station on the Yamanote or Chuo lines (Google Maps)
