Every First Wednesday of the Month at 6pm!
Experimenting with sound is a transformative experience. Creating a set-up to try it out is not far out of reach. This program aims to show you an affordable way to play with sound design.
We’ll learn to creatively combine secondhand music equipment and push it past its price point. Along the way, we’ll talk about acoustic physics, quantifying time, audio synthesis, and the workings of common music gear.
Music is just wiggly air used to decorate time! Let us show you how to make it wiggle.
Entry is donation based, but our furniture unionized and demanded to start earning its keep.
Our legendary collection of gloriously weird, ridiculously comfortable vintage seating is now being auctioned off for each FVSS as a fundraiser. The winning bidders earn VIP cozy seating for that evening's FVSS presentation only. (To be crystal clear: you are bidding for the privilege of sitting in the furniture, not taking it home. Grandma's Best lives here and has no intention of moving to your house.)
The auction will be held online through Zeffy in partnership with our fiscal sponsor, Compassionate Home Health Care (CHHC). Your winning bid helps us continue offering free and low-cost community programming, educational events, LGBTQ+ gatherings, and mutual aid initiatives, while also making your contribution tax-deductible through our fiscal sponsorship.
Browse the seating online. Place your bids. Outbid your friends. Lounge in vintage glory for the event.
Support Science in the Fox Valley
There is no required admission to attend this presentation. As a fiscally sponsored organization, the Fox Valley Science Society relies on community support to make our educational programs accessible to everyone.
We suggest a $5 donation, but any amount is appreciated. You can use the Donate button when registering or make a contribution at the door. Every donation directly supports speaker honoraria, venue expenses, and future science programming, helping us keep our events open to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances.
Powered by Community. Guided by Science. Because science belongs to everyone.
