OVMoD’s Teen Science Café is part of a national network of similar programs. All Cafés are run by teens, for teens, with support from an adult facilitator. Cafés offer participants the opportunity to interact in a small group setting with a STEAM professional in our community. Plus, there’s always free food!
We'd like to thank our great student leaders for the 2024-2025 academic year!
Teen Science Cafe will start back up in the Fall with the new academic year. Check back for details!
