The Tiger Science Café program is for teens, organized and run by a core group of teen coordinators. It aims to acquaint teens with the exciting fields of Science and Mathematics, engaging them in person with real professionals in the fields who love what they do, all in a fun, relaxed, and informal social setting. The program also provides teens in and around Sumter County with fun opportunities to experience hands-on learning activities in science.

The Colors of Nature cafés feature scientists that work at the interface of art and science. These cafés are offered under the larger umbrella of the Colors of Nature Project, an NSF-funded effort to illustrate the overlap between science and art, and to draw girls to science careers. Cafés are offered to the general public, but Girls that participate in the Colors of Nature Summer Academies will have a leadership role in these events. This café is currently on pause. We hope to restart in future. If you are in Fairbanks and would like to collaborate, please get in touch!
The EYH Teen STEM Café is a program under the umbrella of Expanding Your Horizons, San Diego, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness, understanding, and excitement among young women about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). As it grows, the program will consist of regional “hubs,” starting first with a hub in Central San Diego and North County San Diego.

Our school has a somewhat unique (yet growing) trend of having a coffee-house-like area, an area which is utilized by 100’s of students each day for lunch and study areas – The area looks similar to a college campus area. This area is also utilized in the evenings for community events; college education courses; and school-sponsored events. This area will serve well as a friendly and easy to get to area for our community as the location is central and safe and there is parking aplenty (free).
Teens own this cafe. They don’t only attend it – they run it. By joining the Youth Leadership Team (YLT), you get to voice your opinion about what the cafe looks like, sounds like, feels like, and even what food is served. The YLT is a great place to find friends while developing leadership skills that look nice on a resume. Find out more about the
