Teen Science Cafe Moonshot Fellows
Teen Science Cafes are a free, fun way for teens to engage in lively conversations with STEM experts that explore the advances in science and technology that affect their lives. In these events, teens socialize over teen-friendly food and drink and have a lively conversation with local scientists and engineers about current cutting-edge developments in their fields, all in a relaxed and informal out-of-school setting. Teen Science Cafés are for teens, by teens. Teen organizers gain a host of leadership skills. Cafés are typically run about an hour and a half once per month during the school year.
A $2,500 stipend is provided to support the implementation of Teen Science Cafes.
