About the Bakerhead Creative Society

Beakerhead is an international smash up of art, science and engineering erupting on the streets of Calgary on September 16-20, 2015. On the surface, Beakerhead looks like a week of spectacular fun very September. But it's more than a schedule of mesmerizing events: it's a time and place where engineers show their creative sides, artists get technical and where science hits the streets and everyone gets ingenious.
