Teen Science Cafés are a free, fun way for teens to explore the big advances in science and technology affecting their lives. Teens and local scientists, engineers, and inventors engage in lively conversations and activities to explore a topic deeply.
Most teens are social by nature and a great icebreaker activity can work wonders in getting them to meet and interact with one another. Many Teen Science Cafés hold them prior to introducing the café speaker to add to the fun ambience of the event as well as to help everyone feel comfortable in asking questions aloud and conversing with the speaker.
Try these whole group activities (sometimes called "icebreakers") to help teen leaders 'gel' en route to becoming a team. Some of them could also be used to help attendees at a Teen Science Café feel more comfortable with others in the room.
