Taking place during the last week of the Nuseum’s “Louder Than Words; Rock, Power and Politics” exhibit, this is the perfect event to bring the music-lover in your life to. Free with your Newseum admission, the event features a lecture from human rights activist Jack Healey, who has worked with music legends like U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Sting, amongst others. With a career spanning over 30 years, Healey will discuss what is was like working with some of the biggest names in the industry, and the creation of his music and comedy charities designed to raise awareness of human rights abuses. July 22. Newseum, 555 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 202-292-6100

Extreme Event Game

Join the Koshland Science Museum for their Extreme Event Game to find out if you have what it takes to survive. The event is a role-playing game, which mimics natural disasters that can happen in the DC area. With twists and turns at every corner, you’ll have to work together with other participants to solve challenges, prioritize resources, and balance trade-offs. July 12. National Academy of Sciences, 2101 Constitution Ave. NW, 202-334-2000
