- Café Scientifique is a popular program that
brings teens from all walks of life together
to explore, discuss, and debate the latest ideas
in science and technology. Stimulating conversations
with experts working on the cutting-edge of
scientific research take place in a social setting.
It is a place where all teens are welcome and
ideas are shared. For each Café, follow-up events
are scheduled to give participants a chance
to explore aspects of the Café topic in greater
depth.

Steel is the most important metal to our civilization. It is used in cars, trains, buildings, bridges, rockets, utensils, tools, medical implants, and nuclear containment vessels. How can one material satisfy so many needs? Small changes in the chemistry and manner of forming the steel make huge differences in its properties. Small imperfections or the wrong applications can spell disaster. Come to the Cafe and discuss how the properties of this remarkable material make our civilization possible, yet vulnerable.
