Cafe Scientifique
The Science Center of Iowa presents a FREE science-based program for adults and young adults!
"Cafe Sci" events are happening all over the world. On the first Tuesday of each month, SCI invites the community to join the conversation over cocktails and coffee. We are committed to hosting leaders in science and technology to engage you in meaningful and relevant topics in an informal setting. Each event begins with an introduction and background of the topic by the featured presenter. After a brief break, the experience continues with an open forum for questions and discussion. Come relax or get involved!
Upcoming Cafe Sci Events:
- Tuesday, May 7 - Digging Up Dirt: The Science of Sue
