Explosive, edible and super nerdy at the Technical Museum this fall
Anna Gerdén, Technical Museum
When the Technical Museum starts the season at its nerd cafe for the tenth year, a long list of narrow topics is on the calendar. Life-threatening lithium batteries, swimming, video machines, edible insects, lego build, radio waves and huge carnival dolls are some examples of what you can fixate on during the fall’s wednesday evenings.
It is ten years since the Technical Museum started its Nerd café and began to invite passionate enthusiasts to share their great interest over a coffee. Over the years we have met hundreds of colorful people with a penchant for wide variety of things like the UFO, turbanes, lock picking, knitting and nuclear power. There has been a lot of interest and today there are Nerd cafés in several parts of the country.
– It’s incredibly wonderful to get involved in the nerd’s genuine passion, says Nils Olander, nerd manager at the Technical Museum. Some have told them how to dress up to evil movie characters while others are being rescued by fire soldiers. A bunch tried life like fur animals, and a nerd could hold the breath for 9 minutes and 11 seconds. One person had traveled and filmed 3000 lifts in Stockholm and had YouTubefans in the whole world. One of the most spectacular was a nerd who drove in and parked his six-meter Batmobil in the museum hall.
New for this year is that the Technical Museum invites several nerds to the same evening. Here, those who like stop motion animation meet with those who love to swim. Lego nerds mingle with fruit lovers and drones pilots share scenes with video machines from different times. And the juggler who switched balls to cubes get company of edible insects.
