5 Things to Do This Week: Secret Science Club, Atlantic 10 Championship and the Return of Show-and-Tell

It's going to be a busy week. Here's how we think you should spend it:

Monday:

Stretch your brain back into fighting form after the weekend with a free writing workshop at Central Library. The event is held weekly by the NYC Writers Coalition, and is open to wordsmiths of all genres and skill levels. From 1 to 3 p.m. Writing supplies are provided.

Central Library is located at 10 Grand Army Plaza.

Tuesday:

The otherwise fashionable Bell House is nerding out for the night with Secret Science Club, a monthly event for those who enjoy attending academic lectures almost as much as they enjoy getting wasted on mixed drinks. This month's talk features neuroscientist Andre Fenton, who will school attendees on the science of memory and forgetting. Starts at 8 p.m. Free.

The Bell House is located at149 7th St. between 2nd and 3rd avenues.

Wednesday:

One of the oft-forgotten joys of elementary school is show-and-tell, in which you were not only allowed to bring to class any sweet possession that you wanted, but given free rein to brag before a jealous audience. Relive the good old days at Freddy's Bar on Wednesday, wherein particpants are invited to bring the item of their choosing and talk about it for up to three minutes. 8 to 11:30 p.m.

Freddy's is located at 627 5th Ave. between 17th and 18th streets.

Thursday:

The Atlantic 10 Men's Championship's will be held at the Barclays Center beginning on Thursday and running through Sunday. Whether you're cheering on your alma mater or are in it solely for the Fatty 'Cue, grab your tickets here.

The Barclays Center is located at 620 Atlantic Ave. at Flatbush Avenue.

Friday:

Finding a Friday night activity isn't a challenge—but finding someone to watch the kids is. Leave your bundles of joy in the capable hands of Project Playdate, a team of trained childcare professionals who every three weeks host an evening-time pajama party at Park Slope's Kidville. Intended for children ages 2 to 6-years old. Cost is $45 for one child, and $25 for additional siblings. 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Click here to register.
