superbowl pop culture trivia slide

The library's Charger Trivia Challenge returns. This time it will be about the Super Bowl, but with a twist! 

The Super Bowl Pop Culture Trivia will be about all the things around the Superbowl - the celebrities, the commercials, the half-time shows, and the science - but not about the sport itself. Perfect for those who want a different take on the big event. It will be on Tuesday, February 4. From 6pm to 8pm. In LIB 111. There will be snacks. Compete invidually or in teams up to 5.

Later workshops will look at editing and adding in special effects. You do not have to attend all three. You can mix and match as you need.
