Teen Science Cafe
Calling all teens: Let’s explore current science!
Want to talk with scientists about their work? Meet other teens who like science as much as you do? Share your ideas and learn what others think, too?
Open Minds: Teen Science Cafe is for you! This program is just for young adults, ages 13-18, and it’s free! We’ll gather for pizza on the front porch of Morehead and enter the Fulldome Theater from there.

Teen Science Cafe is for teens, by teens. That means that much of the decision-making is done by the Teen Advisory Board.
During our meetings, you’ll help work out what speakers we host, social media strategies, games/trivia, and practice your leadership skills, among other benefits. Members of the Board should expect to meet 1-2 times per month (including cafes).
We are currently accepting applications for each high school grade (rising 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades). If you would like to apply, please email Cole Anderson at anderscb@email.unc.edu for a copy of the application.
Applications will be due by May 1, 2020.
