By linking teens with STEM experts, we open doors to exploration and discovery. Together, they build knowledge, confidence, and a shared vision of the future.
The Teen Science Café Network (TSCN) is supported by the National Science Foundation and strengthened by professional evaluation. Our Cafés are rooted in core values: elevating teen voice, empowering teen choice, and fostering 21st-century skills that last a lifetime.










Since its establishment in 2008, the TSCN has grown to over 100 programs in rural, urban, and suburban locations across North America and Canada. Today, a multitude of cafés operate nationwide—and continue to grow.
