Huskies Night Out - Maker Fair (NEW DATE!)

Friday, Feb. 27

Get ready for a night of creativity, curiosity and connection—just for grown-ups! Join us on Friday, Feb. 27, at 5:30 p.m. at Ellington’s Restaurant in the Holmes Student Center for a Huskies Night Out that blends great food with hands-on fun.

Enjoy a plated dinner and a complimentary glass of wine or beer before diving into an evening of interactive activities, led by NIU STEAM, that will spark your imagination. Try your hand at driving and coding Sphero robots, design and cut your own creations with a laser cutter, and light up your art with glowing paper circuits.

Whether you’re a lifelong tinkerer or just love trying something new, this night is all about innovation, laughter and creativity. Bring a date, a friend or come solo—you’re sure to meet other Huskies ready to make, play and create!

Individual tickets for this NIU STEAM partnered event are $30 per person, but a special rate of $55 is set for Double Huskies (alumni couples).

Don’t wait—spots are limited for this inventive evening of fun!
