Colorado Teen Science Café Summit

Saturday, May 2, 2026
10am-1:30pm
CU Anschutz Medical Campus

CU Science Discovery is excited to announce its first-ever Colorado Teen Science Café Summit! The Café Summit is a chance for all Colorado Teen Science Café locations – Aurora, Boulder, Pueblo and Thornton – to debrief and learn from each other's experiences, identify future guest speakers, and celebrate accomplishments. 

Were you unable to attend a Teen Science Café this school year? Not a problem, you're still welcome to participate and offer your input for future Cafés! All who attend are welcome to provide input on organizing monthly events, including potential scientists to invite or scientific topics to explore further. And while you're there, explore the possibility of joining the Teen Science Café Leadership Council. Members of the Leadership Council develop valuable skills, network with local scientists, positively impact their community, and earn an official community engagement certification from the ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!
