Presenter Dr Faraz Hasan believed scientific discussions should not be held exclusively at places like universities and schools.
"Having these public talks will contribute to developing a passion for science across the country. This will eventually create a well-informed society in the long run," she said.
Dr Hasan is a senior lecturer at Massey University's School of Engineering and Advanced Technology, where he leads the telecommunication and network engineering research group.
Rotorua Library Communications lead, Sandra Quinn, is excited to have someone with such experience and knowledge come and speak to the community.
"Rotorua is known for its innovative technology and entrepreneurs, so we hope that locals with an interest in communications technology will take this opportunity to attend talk and Q&A session."
The Tech Simple Talk will be held in the Discovery Space on the second floor of the new Rotorua Library building.
The presentation will last around 45 minutes and include a question and answer session.
Entry is free although gold coin koha is appreciated. Numbers are limited so booking is essential.
