Future Telling: Science + Fiction Webinars

NIU’s Future Telling Webinars

Every great leap forward starts with a burst of creativity. Someone sees the world as it is, dreams of what it could be, and then works to make the dream a reality. This is future telling, something that writers, innovators, and STEM experts do every day to imagine and create a better world.

Join us for fun, fast-paced webinars that include panel discussions and Q&As with authors and experts about hot topics in researching and writing science fiction. Our goal is to introduce writers to bleeding-edge concepts, to invigorate STEM experts with mind-bending views of the future, and to celebrate the connections between STEM and storytelling.

Who Should Attend?

  • Aspiring and established writers who want to hone their craft, add more science to their fiction, and network with other professionals 
  • STEM experts interested in sharing knowledge, writing or contributing to a book, or serving as a subject matter expert 
  • Teachers and librarians looking for creative new ways to engage students and readers in writing and STEM 
  • Anyone interested in bringing about a brighter future in science, writing, and society
