Nerd Nite Tokyo #71: Civilization Inspiration

While the Tokyo Business Meetup is on hiatus, we would like to highlight an event that we believe many of our members would enjoy.

Nerd Nite Tokyo is a social event on Friday nights each month, presenting talks on a wide variety of topics in science, literature, history, the arts, engineering, technology, the environment, and current events. Think of it as a more casual form of TED.

Here's a brief description of this month's event from the organizers:

Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, we’re in Sugamo to talk about inspiration in mathematics and climate change in video games! As always, we will have cafe food and craft beer on tap.

First, researcher Prasad Cheema will tell us about his belief that “mathematics at its core holds a philosophy of intellectual courage that teaches profound lessons about how to approach life.” Then, second-time presenter Stéfan Le Dû “takes us on a nerdy journey through the Civilization series, from its early days in 1991 to the just-released Civilization VII, exploring how each game has tackled the biggest crisis of our time — climate change.”

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