Through Activating Rural Communities, Rural Teen Science Cafés Spark Interest in STEM

This document is the final evaluation report for the Teen Science Cafes for Advancing STEM in Rural Places project. A Teen Science Café is a free, regularly occurring event during the school year in which a local scientist, engineer, or STEM expert discusses their field experiences with the teen attendees. Ideally, a Teen Leader cohort, under the mentorship of an Adult Leader, organizes and implements each Café. The Teen Science Café Network is a community of practice linking the various youth-serving organizations, institutions, community settings, and individuals that host Teen Science
