Teen Science Cafe in February! 

Please join us at Morehead Planetarium on Friday, January 24th for a very exciting Teen Science Cafe! We will welcome Dylan Wood, AP Psychology teacher from Chapel Hill High School, for an in-depth look at the concept of nature verses nurture.

The Morehead Teen Science Cafe is where learning meets fun in a space-themed setting. Located on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill, Morehead Planetarium and Science Center has a history of training astronauts for moon missions, has a giant dome theater, schedules frequent shows, and so

much more.

Our monthly cafes include exciting activities, engaging talks from expert speakers, and even free food! Plus, we cover a variety of different topics, ranging from cell biology to deep space galaxies, making it a one-of-a-kind spot for high school students to explore new ideas, interact with each other, and have fun!

The right doors up the big stairs will open at 5:30 for pizza and conversation. The cafe will start at 6:00 and wrap up around 7:00ish.
