Virtual Teen Science Café

August 9, 2026
7-8pm

Teens are invited to explore STEM from a new angle. Most people know what STEM-based high school classes look like. Most of us even have a good idea as to what professional STEM research looks like. But what does STEM in that crucial, transitional college phase look like? Join us for an hour of insights at this panel-style discussion event featuring an undergraduate student, a PhD student, and a recent graduate in STEM. We hope to see you in the virtual realm!
