Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, **we’re in Sugamo** with talks on the power of music and the potential of virtual reality. Plus, we have cafe food and craft beer on tap!

Our first speaker is **Yutaka Kikugawa**, founder of El Sistema Japan:

> Music is not only a source of joy and inspiration; it can also ignite intrinsic motivation and empower communities. Our 12 years of experience, from post-tsunami reconstruction to inclusive education, demonstrate how music can spark diverse social actions and drive positive change.

Then, JAXA astrophysicist, science communicator, and Nerd Nite favorite **Elizabeth Tasker** shows us how she and the global community “The Future of Meetings” are exploring the possibilities of virtual reality:

> You can design a lecture hall for sharing ideas, an exhibition space with demonstrations of full-scale animated models of scientific or engineering equipment, select landing sites for a space mission by standing on another planet, or cut that deal on a golf course in Captain Nemo’s submarine (complete with giant squid).

Drinks (both alcoholic and non) as well as food will be available. **[Check out the menu here](https://cafeportglasgow.mystrikingly.com/#menu) and come early; we’re opening the doors at 7 PM.** Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.
