White Oak Music Hall

Welcome to Emo Night Brooklyn, a late-night, DJ-driven dance party blasting the best emo and pop punk jams that raised us, ruined us, and somehow still define us. We’re taking over White Oak Music Hall - Upstairs in Houston on 18 July 2026 for a night of screaming every word, moshing with strangers, and feeling absolutely everything. This is not a quiet night out. Expect wall-to-wall emo and pop punk anthems, deep cuts, and songs you still know by heart even if you pretend you’ve “moved on.” From the tracks that got you through your worst years to the ones that still hit a little too hard, Emo Night Brooklyn is all about losing your voice, finding your people, and reliving the music that made us who we are. And yeah sometimes special guests and your favorite artists even jump in to join the chaos. Come ready to scream, mosh, dance, cry in the corner (no judgment), and throw yourself into the pit with all your favorite people. Tell the DJs what you want to hear and we promise we listen better than your ex. It’s loud, it’s emotional, and it’s the kind of night that reminds you it was never just a phase. So get ready, Houston. Lace up your boots, warm up your vocal cords, and meet us in the pit at White Oak Music Hall - Upstairs on 18 July 2026. Emo Night Brooklyn is calling — and yes, we need every soul.

The Health Museum

The Health Museum, an interactive health science museum located in the heart of the Houston Museum District, is offering high school students the opportunity to explore modern-day health and bioscience challenges with experts from the Texas Medical Center at the annual Global Teen Medical Summit this summer from June 14-19 or July 19-24, 2026.
Registration is now open for students currently enrolled in 9th&nbsp;– 12th&nbsp;grade, ages 14-18,&nbsp;to attend and experience behind the scenes tours of biomedical research labs, interactive workshops to learn skills like CPR and suturing, group-based challenges in ethical case studies, and an overnight dormitory experience at the University of Houston Main Campus.
Partnering with some of the brightest minds in healthcare today, the Global Teen Medical Summit experience provides access to thought leaders involved in cutting-edge medical research, clinical practice, and public health.
Throughout the week, the team will work on a design concept with mentorship from renowned healthcare professionals, attend workshops, hear from leading speakers, and generate new ways of thinking about the most pressing healthcare issues of today. Together with peers, they’ll define areas of opportunity and explore how to respond ethically to the issues and challenges, putting theory into practice within the current healthcare landscape. The week concludes with a presentation where students will be asked to pitch their solutions to healthcare challenges identified during the week to a panel of expert judges.
The cost for the summit is $1950 and includes six science-filled days of exciting hands-on sessions with medical experts, medical center visits, dorm accommodation for five nights (4-person suites on the University of Houston campus), three meals per day, plus daily transportation to and from dorms, site visits, excursions, and team-building social events.
Museum members&nbsp;(Family level &amp; above) receive a $100 discount per registrant. Applications for need-based scholarships are available&nbsp;<a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeYhgU0KAmGjhIBmqXmuZngGUPkq4ISKKod1h-e__gK-b2a2Q/viewform" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;and the deadline to apply is&nbsp;April 15, 2026.
