Rachel Codex teen authors read their documents aloud...
Chabot Space & Science Center
10FM partnered with local orgs Chapter 510 and NaNoWriMo to formulate the Rachel Codex, the canon of literature from an imagined exoplanet. Chabot's staff then worked with teen interns to write Codex documents, discuss how literature can give us clues into a culture, and explore how taking one step back (or stepping one planet away) to gain perspective might help us let go of our entrenched beliefs and see elements of that culture with more of an open mind. *

ArtPiece in Residence Exhibit Opening
Grand Opening Party, Saturday, April 25, 2015
Update: It happened. What a night. People were alternately cheering, then contemplative, as we all beheld the fire-breathing, kinetic art. Congratulations, lads!
The ArtPiece in Residence Program is a new initiative to inspire the next generation to explore science in their own creative ways, encourage STEAM (sci, tech, engin, art, math), and celebrate the incredible sci-fi and science inspired artists in our local communities.
Join us as we change the landscape of Chabot with two new unearthly, visionary, kinetic, flaming, spinning sculptures by Oakland artists Ryon Gesink and Orion Fredericks. We'll usher in this new Art-meets-Science exhibit with the locally celebrated Snail Car, musician Michael Chiaravelotti's "Dance Party on Wheels," and inspired talks by Ryon and Orion about how Art and Science work together to create amazing things.

This amazing triple event series happened in May! If you missed it, don't worry - you can follow the links below:
The behind-the-scences Star Trek webcast with Seth and Star Trek writer Andre Bormanis is here!
Check out the Tweets from NaNoWriMo's all day #ScienceIsStory Tweet-a-thon, when we tackled questions like, "How can sci-fi change the future of science?"
Chabot, National Novel Writing Month, and Big Picture Science hosted a discussion with the incredible Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer and Director at the Center for SETI Research, on sci-fi's thrilling influence on science. He told amaizng stories, entertained, and the crowd asked funny, nerdy and poignant questions; the place was hopping (photos on our photo/video page).
To read and hear more: Shostak has published four books and more than 400 popular articles on science, gave this TED Talk, and is the co-host of the SETI Institute’s radically fun and informative national weekly radio show, Big Picture Science.
