Lead Institution: Penn Museum, Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Pennsylvania
The Penn Museum Teen Science Cafés meet monthly during the school year to connect local Philadelphia youth to museum staff, faculty, and graduate students through interactive workshops. Speakers are selected and coached by our Teen Ambassadors. Our Teen Science Cafes try to be directly related to the Penn Museum’s scope and mission, showing how the humanistic science of anthropology helps us make sense of ourselves and our world.
