First, stand-up comedy warms up the room. Then the guest speaker takes the stage for a live lecture followed by audience Q&A.

Tonight (August 28): Parth K. Shah — designer, researcher, and educator at OCAD University's Faculty of Design — on how libraries, Google, and AI shape what you discover.

October 3 (rescheduled from September 12): Dr. Matt Russo — astrophysicist, musician, and sonification specialist — turns astronomical data into sound. His TED Talk What Does the Universe Sound Like? has nearly 2 million views.

September 25: Robert Clapperton — University of Waterloo professor and TEDx speaker — on why AI is bringing back the way Socrates taught, and why going back 2500 years in education is actually going forward.
