*If you hear of an upcoming local exhibit, show, film screening, talk (etc.), please let the class know by making a post on our OpenLab course site and categorizing it as “Science Fiction in NYC.”
*If you make an appointment to get a free idNYC card, you gain free membership to many cultural institutions around the five boroughs. I strongly encourage you to do so, if you haven’t already. You can also now access museums free, with the NYPL Culture Pass. Finally, as a CUNY student, you also have access to many cultural institutions free through CUNY Arts.
