Topic: “Everything, Everywhere, Connected: The Internet of Things”
What: Modeled after “Science Cafes”, Science on Tap is the only place in Palm Beach County where for the price of a cup of coffee, a quality craft beer, or a smooth glass of wine, anyone can come to discuss the latest trends in science and technology with a world-class scientist. With a motto to ‘drink up – get smart,’ you know you are in for a casual-education session, as the goal of the program is for guests to have fun while learning a little bit more about everyday curiosities.
No ticket required — Admission is FREE! Seating is limited, please arrive early. Presentation starts @ 7pm and runs 30min. plus Q-n-A after. Brews and bites available for purchase provided by Due South Brewing.

More about presentation:
The Internet of Things is a vision of a world where everyday objects can sense, compute, and communicate with one another and other Internet-connected things. This ecosystem of chattering objects will be incredibly diverse in its makeup, ranging from vehicles and roadways, to surgical tools and hospital beds, to forks and toothbrushes. The collective measurements and calculations provided by this new Internet tier will provide unprecedented visibility into a world filled with complex patterns and behaviors. These latent patterns and behaviors will be made manifest, and the everyday things that populate our homes, our businesses, and our schools will seamlessly coordinate to optimize our everyday experiences. Sensing, computing, and communication technology will be integrated everywhere, and we won’t even know it’s there. Come learn all about it.
