IGNITE

If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? Around the world geeks have been putting together IGNITE nights to show their answers on science, technology, art and society. Don't miss one of our favorite events series at Science Gallery with an amazing diverse panel of participants including:
