Evening events

Friday night: Waterworks Museum Steampunkery (6-10pm)
Join us at the Boston Waterworks Museum in the Great Engines Hall from 6-10pm. Light food and drinks will be served, we will have a DJ, and tours will be offered throughout the evening. If you would like to dress festively, we’re inspired by steampunk visions of a future where all news is true, environmental terrorists are not welcome, everyone is connected, and masks are plentiful and effective. The only dark lining is when no one cares enough about you to watch your feeds.
Saturday evening: Pizza and cake in the 4th floor commons ahead of the MIT party.
Saturday night: MIT Museum(7-11pm)
We have the museum to ourselves: explore exhibits with new friends! A cash bar and light snacks will be provided (dinner beforehand in the Stata Center). The museum is a short walk away from Stata (which will remain open until midnight for hacking in the 4th floor R&D Commons space).
Sunday evening: Games and wiki-activity night -- Stata, 4th floor, 5-7 pm. Everyone is on their own for dinner.
