    Ah the fabled Nerd Nite Orlando... I have heard so much about ye and know I truly know thee (not in a biblical sense weirdo). I was able to attend this session of NNO with my good friend Ms. Tairi P and we enjoyed a non-alcoholic drink and hunkered down to learn more about the Psychology of MMORPG Games, a new Live Action Role Playing Game called "The Republic" and, last but certainly not least, how NASA is working to turn astronaut pee into plant food in space. The first session around MMORPGs and the psychology of connectedness between online players was interesting but some of the points seemed debatable... for instance, I personally believe that sitting inside for 20 hours, even if you're interacting with others over the internet, is not the healthiest thing on the planet. Overall it was a great talk that sparked deep conversations at our table. The next session focused on a new game called "The Republic" and I honestly have to say that this really turned me off. It felt like bad dinner theater and a pitch for a business (I thought those weren't allowed at NNO?) and myself and counterparts couldn't wait for it to be over. While the concept was definitely interesting the presentation and sales-y feel was off-putting from the getgo. The night was closed out in a fantastic way by a gentleman who, through memes and lots of colorful language, explained the logistics of turning human waste into food/fuel for plants in space. It was entertaining, challenging, and an outstanding lecture that we all enjoyed very much. This night was great and the only reason I would give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that sales pitch I mentioned. A solid event that I plan on attending in the near future!

    Did know what to expect when I arrived but Need Nite brings a fresh breathe of air and a new approach to presentations.

    We came here for an open house, which included food, drinks, entertainment and plenty of hands-on…read morecrafts. We toured the facilities, the workshops, we actually sat down for some demos from the visual arts department, and then gathered around a kiln for a raku ceramics demo, which was ideal on a cold winter afternoon (winter in Florida?). Also, we were able to visit the gallery, which was hosting a photograph exhibit on the history of turn of the century Lake Apopka, about 40 miles away due West, and that was very interesting and enlightening. We also printed a poster, among other things. Personally, I think it was fun to talk/meet some of the faculty, not that I am immediately looking for a new teacher, but it is good to pick one who has some similarities, or none at all. Challenge yourself. After this visit, I will consider taking some classes here. Or come to more events. I really like Crealdé.

    Please read before you get scammed. I purchased a class here and the policy stated that you have 7…read moredays before the first session to cancel and get a refund. I called today (9 days before the first day) and I was told that it was too late and the last day was Yesterday (10/09/23) (10 days before first session). I pointed out the policy and was told that "session" didn't mean class and it was incorrect so I couldn't get my money back. This is fraudulent. I will be contacting the correct state department for this. This is extremely unprofessional and clearly lacks clarity. If your policy is outdated, correct it on the website. I've attached the policy as a picture.
