Nerd Night 2026 will be Wednesday, November 4th, from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. The event will be in Parking Lot 8 and the common areas in the EIT Building. Nerd Night is for people to get excited about STEM and the opportunities in UA Little Rock’s STEM College (DCSTEM)!
We will have lots of exhibitors from on & off campus! Check out our Events & Activities Map
We recommend you park in Lot 13 West, next to the Jack Stephens Center. From there, it is a short walk across 28th street onto campus. There are accessible parking spots located close to Lot 8 if you turn off of Campus Drive. Here’s the campus map!
The following food trucks will be at Nerd Night 2026:
Food truck tickets are limited this year! You will get a hand stamp when you check in for Nerd Night. Only guests with stamps will be able to get a food truck ticket (first-come, first-served).
When you arrive at check-in, one person from your group can check everyone in! Just keep in mind that group members must be physically present at check-in to receive a food truck ticket. If some group members are arriving later, they can check-in separately when they arrive in order to get a food truck ticket. Tickets are first come, first-served.
We recommend you wear comfortable shoes. If you are interested in going to the observatory, you will be walking across campus and going up a short ramp to the roof of Stabler Hall. Also, much of Nerd Night is outside so dress weather appropriate!
General Questions
For Exhibitors
We ask you to arrive and start setting up by 4:00pm. The gates to Lot 8 will be open at that time so you are welcome to drive your car in and unload. Once you have unloaded your car, you can park in one of the open spots in Lot 8 or park in Lot 13.
Event map coming soon.
Yes! Once you are set up, you will get a free ticket to one of the food trucks so you can go get your food before the event begins at 5:00. We will also have bottled water on hand.
We invited all current DCSTEM undergraduate and graduate students as well as DCSTEM faculty and staff. We also invited our community partners, prospective DCSTEM students, and the greater Little Rock community!
