After Dark: Rock, Paper, Scissors January 5, 2012

Scissors cut paper, rock bashes scissors, yet paper triumphs over rock. Who came up with this strange decision-making game that we love to play? Come to the Exploratorium’s After Dark: Rock, Paper, Scissors on Thursday, January 5, 2012, from 6 to 10pm, where you will learn about the origins of such games, engage in a “RPS” tournament, and much more! Learn how scientists can see into fossilized rock to see what dinosaur skins looked like, get a free haircut from Public Barber Salon, see and engage in paper arts, watch films and discover more on the materiality of rocks, paper and metal. After Dark is for adults 18 years and older. For more information, visit http://www.exploratorium.edu/afterdark/
