SENSING OUR UNIVERSE: USING DATA TO GO BEYOND SIGHT
Like Geordi on Star Trek: TNG, scientists can now experience the Universe beyond sight through scientific translations that turn data from NASA missions like the Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope into sounds, 3D prints, and even holograms. Moderated by astronomer Kim Arcand (DAY: FRIDAY)
BEYOND VULCAN & NIBIRU: EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS WITH NASA
Star Trek is famous for its worlds like Vulcan, Andoria, and Nibiru, but sing an armada of telescopes from NASA and other agencies around the world, astronomers have found thousands of planets beyond our Solar System that are both wildly different and eerily like our Earth. Moderated by astronomer Kim Arcand (DAY: SATURDAY)

COSPLAY CONTEST
The Cosplay Contest is a true highlight of our Trek conventions! The inspired creativity of the attendees who participate is nothing short of amazing. This is their chance to show off some fantastic and elaborate costumes! Bring your cameras as many cosplayers are open to take pics with you and make great memories.
Set on SATURDAY, the Cosplay Competition takes place in the main theater! Let your creativity shine, come in costume and pump up the experience!
NOTE: There will be no pre-judging for the cosplay contest. Just be in the theater at the time of the contest.
