Taking Flight Nights!
Teen STEAM Cafés at Tracy Aviary
At Tracy Aviary, the nation’s oldest and largest public aviary, your curiosity can take flight! New for 2018, we are letting local teens take the lead on a brand new series of programs. Taking Flight Nights are interactive STEAM cafés for teens by teens!
What are STEAM cafés?
STEAM cafés are events in which professionals in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) interact with the public in a casual setting, sharing their work through engaging hands-on activities and discussions. Teen STEAM Cafés empower high school students to choose topics they want to learn about, reach out to local STEM professionals, and plan their very own events.

Taking Flight Nights started in June of 2018 and run year-round!
