TACNY Junior Cafe Scientifique

TACNY Junior Café Scientifique, a program for middle-school students, features discussions between STEM professionals/academics and students about topics in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics in an informal atmosphere, and seeks to encourage students to consider careers in these areas. Students must be accompanied by an adult, and can explore the MOST at no cost immediately following the event. Continental breakfast is available prior to the start of each talk.
