Teen Café Scientifique at NM Museum of Natural History and Science, Albuquerque
Cafe Scientifique is a new program for teens that brings together scientists and teenagers in an informal, nonacademic setting to discuss connections between science and society. This is an excellent opportunity for teens to talk directly with scientists about cutting-edge technologies and research. In our first two meetings, we have had conversations about the race for an HIV vaccine, and talked about the history and future of the sun. Upcoming programs will address global climate change, the future of computers, and nanotechnology.
Café programs happen twice per month and are open to all teens. Each program features a short expert presentation, wide-ranging discussions, free food, and stipends for carpooling or public transportation. Please contact program coordinator Jen Richter at jrichter@unm.edu for more information.
Café programs are also happening in Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Espanola, all through the generous support of the National Science Foundation and Science Education Solutions.
If you know teens who might be interested, please pass along!
