About this Event
Join us for a high-energy session with Nelson Dellis, world-renowned memory coach and author of Everyday Genius, and learn how extraordinary thinking is closer than you think.
You’ll pick up practical memory techniques you can use immediately—then put them to the test in our Pi Challenge. Between now and the event, memorize as many digits of π as you can. When you arrive, submit your best run. The person who recalls the most digits correctly takes home a COOP gift card.
This inspiring afternoon will show you how “genius” isn’t a rare gift—it’s a skill you can train. Come curious, leave sharper, and discover your inner genius.
