Teen Science Cafés Are Back!
Cafés will be held in person at the Daily Planet Cafe and streamed online on YouTube. (Register for ONLINE participation to receive the link.)
Teen Science Cafés bring teens together in an informal setting to learn about science and technology. Cafés happen from 6pm to 7pm the first Friday of each month during the school year.
Each café will include a scientist presentation, an interactive activity relating to the discussion, a Q&A session, and time to socialize with other teens who enjoy science.
This program is recommended for participants ages 11–17. This is a FREE event. Registration is required for online participation.
