What is nerd nite?
This is a 19+ casual FREE gathering with speakers who present about something that they're passionate about—from the science of Pokemon to wine sommelier secrets to the mysteries of the Great Lakes; we’ve had speakers talk about anything and everything they nerd out about!
As always, we'll have exciting science demonstrations and trivia with PRIZES!

Topic 1
By David George Noonan & Sachin Singh
Join us for a special Nerd Night presentation with the RFDA, where we’ll show how our work goes beyond being a food bank. From supporting local soup kitchens to driving innovative community programs, we’re feeding hope and making a lasting impact in Northwestern Ontario. Discover the stories, strategies, and people behind the change.
Topic 2
Generative AI: Everything You've Always Wanted to Know But Were Afraid To Ask
Hannele Kormano will dive into the math behind generative AI and how it makes "decisions" and gets "creative".
Hannele grew up in Thunder Bay and after spending a bit of time in Toronto, moved back just in time to be an auntie. She's worked as a software developer for just over a decade, and currently works at a place called PagerDuty on the generative AI features, but she promises she's not evil.
