Comment by LaunchPad INW on May 23, 2012 at 8:07am: My apologies-- I thought I'd managed to post the STEM event taking place tonight at Mobius Science Center in the STEM Community-- but it appears I did not.

I hope some of the STEM community members will consider joining us for an evening focused on STEM topics, taping of the LaunchPad Live Show, and networking over appetizers and wine/beer.

5:30 - 5:30 p.m. at Mobius Science Center

811 W Main (across from Nordstrom, downtown)

$10 at the door unless you are a paid LaunchPad Pro/Plus Member or a college student with ID.
