    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.

    I volunteered for the 'Disney Give a Day, Get a Day' program, and painted a house with Hands On…read moreOrlando. I used to volunteer a lot, then got out of it as I got older, and was happy to have volunteering put in the forefront of the news with Disney. I knew the volume of people signing up for events, and was pleasantly surprised when I painted a house with Hands On Orlando. The day consisted of painting four houses, with 100 volunteer expected. The HOO coordinator was very organized, arrived early and was very friendly. There was a HOO coordinator for each house, and one who monitored the whole project. They were very clear in their directions, and made a very humid day painting a house in not a great neighbor hood a great experience. Being an annual passholder for Disney, I wasn't worried about the processing time for the receipt of the Disney voucher, and yet it was in my email by Tuesday. Its kind of sad, the coordinator said that the month before, for the same event they had only twenty volunteers, and now all their events are full. While we appreciate all the Disney is doing to help communities, I sure wish more people would volunteer without having to be bribed, and I can't wait til we do it again!

    Amazing organization! I love the Hands On network!…read more When I lived in Nashville, I frequently volunteered with Hands on Nashville to sort and create bags of groceries for those in the area living with AIDS. I was also a captain for Hands on Nashville Day, where we painted and spruced up a local high school, and even helped out at the animal shelter a few times. When I moved back to O-town I was super excited to find a local Hands On chapter. There is truly something for everyone here. Whether you like to work with your hands and get dirty, or just sit and hang out with some at-risk kids, or play with the puppies and kitties at the local shelter, Hands on Orlando has a huge network of opportunities, linking you with others who share your passions and organizations that run on the support of volunteers. To sing up, they keep things super simple. Log on to www.handsonorlando.com, create an account, then click on the calendar, and click on the event you wish to volunteer for. A quick sign up and print off of the waiver (or your coordinator can give you one at the time of the event), and you are good to go! The volunteer coordinators are super fun and work well with the organizations to ensure a smooth-flowing but fun volunteer experience. Since I've been back in Orlando, I have had the pleasure of volunteering with Coalition for the Homeless, Clean the World, and even the City of Casselberry through Hands on Orlando. This is a great way to get to know all the awesome local groups that take care of our community. I encourage everyone to find at least one Saturday morning a month to give back in 2015!

    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.
