Something a little different is happening at Michigan Science Center— something that blends culture, community and creativity in a way you don’t see every day.

“House of Harlōw 011: The Quantum Rave” is taking over, turning a space that’s usually about inspiring curiosity in science, technology, engineering, and math, into a dance floor.

The show is for all ages and is a pay what you can event. It’s built around the idea of giving people a space to decompress through music and movement.
So what does it look like when a science institution opens its doors to a cultural movement like this? DJ With Love, Harlow and MI-SCI’s managing Director of Engagement Melanie Depcinski, joined The Metro to talk about the upcoming event.
