Teen Science Café is a free, interactive program where teenagers can learn about current scientific research directly from local experts. Each session features a presentation by a scientist, a hands-on activity related to the topic, a question-and-answer segment, and time for participants to socialize with other students. This event is designed specifically for middle and high school students. It takes place at the Daily Planet Cafe inside the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, though a live YouTube stream is available for those who prefer to join from home. If you choose the virtual option, you must register online in advance to receive the link. It is a smart addition to your weekend plans because it offers teenagers a relaxed, low-pressure environment to explore STEM careers and connect with peers outside of a traditional classroom setting.
